Dry ClotHes Indoors 



No matter what the weather, you can dry your 

 clothes as white and sweet as a day in June, 

 with the "Chicago" or "Chicago Francis" 

 combined dr^erand laundry stove. It costs nothing 

 to operate as the laundry stove you use to boil 

 clothes and heat irons supplies the heat which you 

 now waste. Stove for wood, coal or gas. 



This household necessity is within the reach 

 of every owner of a modern home. 



We build Dryers of any desired size, suitable 

 for Residences, Apartment Buildings, Hotels or 

 Institutions. \Vrite today for full description,
