HAVE YOU CONFIDENCE IN THE EDITOR 

 OF "CLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE"? 



Of course you have. For E. R. Root, editor of Gleamngs 

 IN Bee Culture, not only holds the key to over thirty-five 

 thousand homes, but to the hearts of his readers as well. 



The fact that you have such a high regard for the editor of 

 your favorite paper is all the more reason why you will be 

 doubly interested in a letter we recently received from Medina. 

 Mr. Root himself says that the helpfulness and good cheer that 

 radiate from the pages of Gleanings in Bee Culture have 

 much of their inspiration from his home. 



Here is the letter, word for word, just as we received it. 



The domestic-help problem is a serious one at Medina. Girls are very scarce, 

 and Mrs. Root and 1 decided we would have to put in some mechanical helps 

 that would do our washing, ironing, and sweeping. In looking around for a 

 mechanical automatic washer to be operated by electricity, we finally settled 

 upon the Nineteen Hundred machine equipped with an electric motor. This 

 was sent to us on thirty days' trial; and so pleased was Mrs. Root with it that I 

 sent on a check to pay for it before the time limit was up, Mrs. Root is rather 

 exacting, but she says this machine does the washing properly, and without 

 tearing the clothes. She puts our washing into the machine before breakfast, 

 turns the switch to the electric motor, and goes off and leaves it, to get break- 

 fast. She shortly returns, runs the clothes through the wringer, which is also 

 operated by the electric motor, puts in another batch of clothes, »nd turns on the 

 switch and lets the thing " chug." " chug " away, when the operation is repeated. 

 It gives me, therefore, great pleasure to say a good word in favor of this machine, 

 for it will do all that is claimed for it. 



We also use very satisfactorily an electric iron and an electric mangle, and a 

 part of the time an electric sweeper. If we only had an electric dish-washer we 

 could get along very nicely without any help in the house.

How to Wash Without Work

 working.? Not a bit of it! 

 Yet she is doing a big 

 week's washing. The real 

 work is done by the 1900
