LIFTS 
P ROBABLY nothing is 
counted of more value 
today than time savers. 
Give a friend the gift of 
time and the bond will be 
unbreakable. Combined 
with the gift of time is the 
gift of ease, and with the 
two—time and ease—you 
have given a priceless 
thing and have created 
■‘Paradise enow”. So it 
has come to pass that in 
the laundry there are vari¬ 
ous and sundry things giv- 
able to a friend which will 
lighten and brighten the 
operations of home man¬ 
agement. 
Up until late years, wo¬ 
men, not convicts, have 
been “time servers”; but 
long before the vote was 
women’s there was mighty 
revolt and women decided 
it became them better to be 
time savers and not time 
servers. 
For this reason all 
manufacturers in gallant 
fashion have rushed to fill 
the needs of women in 
their homes, and from 
soaps to ironing machines 
have they labored and not 
in vain. 
For example, in ancient 
days, if it rained on Mon¬ 
day or was Monday hu¬ 
mid (very blue Monday in 
fact) the work either had 
to be given up because 
drying was an impossible 
feat, or the whole house¬ 
hold work had to be dislo¬ 
cated by the transference 
of wash day to a more 
sunny occasion, to a day 
when drying was not a 
theory but an inevitable 
outdoor accomplishment. 
No longer need we say 
“if at first you can’t suc¬ 
ceed,” dry, dry again, for 
the heated air dryer has 
come for the laundry of 
the private home as well 
as for the apartment cel¬ 
lar, and drying has be¬ 
come an indoor sport rath¬ 
er than an outdoor hazard. 
These dryers are merely 
cabinets made of galvan¬ 
ized metal of from two to 
ten compartments from 
46" to 53" wide and about 
5' high. The compart¬ 
ments pull out as easily as 
a watch stem and each 
drying rack has six drying 
rods 66" long or a total of 
about 33' of rack. Each 
In the heated air dryer is iound a solution for ques¬ 
tionable Monday weather. It is feasible for the private 
house. Electricity, gas or kerosene supplies the heat 
and fresh air is constantly circulated so that the clothes 
are thoroughly ventilated. The feature of the type 
shown here is the overhead track on which the clothes 
racks slide easily and smoothly. Simple dryers with 
only two racks can be purchased for the small laundry 
and any stove used in the laundry can be connected 
up with the dryer to supply the necessary heat
