NaturaUy
the beat
A natural gas clothes
dryer is the perfect way to
make sore your family's
clothing, linens and other
fine fabrics get the gentle
care they need and at
less than half the cost
of drying electrically. A
natural gas clothes dryer
is fast, dependable, and
a real energy saver. In fact,
a gas dryer uses primary
energy three times as effi-
ciently as an electric one.
And it saves money all
year long.
Your family deserves
the best. So be sure they
enjoy the quality and
pleasing economy of a
natural gflW'dryer.
