Don't Do Your Ironing This Way 



It is a hard, hot, tedious task to iron with flat irons 

 near a hot stove. Don't do it. 



There Is a Better Way 



The " Simplex " Ironing Machine, heated by gas (or 

 gasolene) for less than one cent per hour, will iron all 

 the household linen easily in one-tenth the time — 



A Whole Day's Ironing In One Hour
