To Assure You Success 
Motors in the Home 
in your Rose Gardening 
T HE American Rose Society was 
formed to help you to grow better 
roses in your garden, by syndicating the 
inspiration and experiences of thousands 
of rose lovers like yourself. 
"To have roses in your garden, you 
must first have them in your heart." 
Likewise to enjoy the utmost success, 
you must enjoy the fullest knowledge of 
rose culture and rose varieties. If you 
love roses, if you have a garden, you will 
enjoy the fellowship and enthusiasm of 
membership. 
The American Rose Society 
Invites You to Membership 
Membership in this Society makes 
available to you THE ROSE ANNUAL, 
a cloth-bound book of two hundred 
pages, beautifully illustrated, which is a 
compilation of the latest knowledge on 
rose gardening written for amateurs. Un¬ 
like most garden books written from the 
experiences of a single individual, this 
book represents the practical experiences 
of our membership of almost three 
thousand, edited by J. Horace McFarland.

motor is a luxury, an expense!” Yet, 
it consumes about 300 watts an hour, 
which means a cost of 3 cents an hour 
to operate it. Do you know anyone 
who will work for that? 
A group of “computers”, says the 
House Furnishing Review, recently 
computed that the washing machine 
saves $71.05 per year. 
Now review the facts: 
Old-time washing takes 4 hours per week. 
Washing machines take 2 ” ” ” 
Saving 30 cents per hour 
for 52 weeks $31.20 
50 cents per week goes in fuel, soap, etc. 
in the “old fashioned’’ way. New fashion—- 
15 cents per week. Saving, 35 cents per 
week for 52 weeks $18.20 
Clothes last “they” say, six times longer 
when electrically washed than when rub- 
a-dub-tub washed. Mildly speaking, in a 
family with but $2400 annual income, the 
replacement on such clothes is $26 per year. 
Reduced to 1/6, this saves $21.65 
So the gross saving would be $71.05 
ELECTRIC VACUUM CLEANER 
Cleaning the house with a broom 
and dust cloth requires 10 hours per 
week. With the electric vacuum cleaner 
and attachments the work is done in 
four hours. 
Saving six hours per week at 30 cents per 
hour for 52 weeks $93.60 
Four hours labor per week in operating 
cleaner at 30 cents per hour 
for 52 weeks $93.60 
Current used 160 watts per hour at 10 
cents per KW.FTR. costs 1 3/5 cents an 
hour for four hours a week, or for 
52 weeks, cost would be— 
Cost of cleaner and attachments on in¬ 
stallment plan prorated over 10 years, 
per year $ 6.88 
Gross saving per year $93.60 
Total cost per year 72.62 
Net Savings $20.98 
market makes fewer revolutions per 
minute than some of the ordinary kinds. 
An anxious buyer might think “Oh! the 
more R. P. M. the better”, and be badly 
sold. 
The places for oiling must be located 
so as to be easily accessible, and where 
they will not interfere with you or you 
with them. Keep the motor oiled in 
accordance with directions received with 
the machine; don't do too much or too 
little. 
The motor should be so constructed 
that it is guarded against chance spills 
of water, dust, oil and dirt on it. The 
best motors, however, are so built that 
almost anything can be spilt on them 
without injury. The motor’s current 
consumption should be the lowest pos¬ 
sible commensurate with the work to 
be done. In some devices, such as sew¬ 
ing machines, mixing units and laun¬ 
dry devices, control of the speed is 
necessary or desirable, but this is ac¬ 
complished by apparatus that is not 
part of the motor itself, and that need 
not be discussed here. 
The position of the motor in the de¬ 
vice, whether horizontal or vertical, is 
nothing to worry about, nor is the horse 
power. These questions have been 
solved for you by the designer of the 
machine. 
It is essential, however, that the 
motor and other parts of the machine 
shall be so placed and so arranged that 
one’s clothing will not catch in them, 
and that nothing will interfere with 
their operation. 
IRONING MACHINE 
Dr. Cr. 
Ironing by hand requires 5 hours, with 
the ironing machine it takes 1 hour, saving 
four hours. 
Labor for four hours a week at 30 cents 
per hour for 52 weeks $62.40 
Four hours saving in gas for fuel at four 
cents an hour for a year 8.32 
Clothes pressing bills saved per year

Net Saving $49.79 
ADVICE ON PURCHASING 
When you purchase a motor driven 
device, see that the motor is one of the 
best makes, and made of the best 
materials. It should be as noiseless in 
operation as possible; fancy a noisy 
motor in a player piano, or in a talk¬ 
ing machine! The making of such a 
motor for the phonograph, by the way, 
required the most careful study and the 
success resulting is a notable achieve¬ 
ment. 
don’t be gulled 
Don’t be gulled by a misunderstand¬ 
ing of R. P. M., which is merely the 
statement of how many revolutions per 
minute the motor makes. A motor in

ART AND THE MOTOR 
The building of the small motor is 
an art, because of the fineness of its 
parts. Hundreds of feet of fine wire 
are used in a tiny motor so small that 
it will fit in the palm of the hand. 
Every part that is supposed to be in¬ 
sulated must be very carefully insulated, 
for the slightest break in this insulation 
might cause trouble. This insulation, 
and every other part of the motor must 
give satisfactory service under different 
temperatures and every demand and 
condition of normal usage. That the 
construction of one of these motors is 
no simple task is evident from the fact 
that the building of each one involves 
approximately 250 separate operations. 
Each of these operations requires care, 
and the tests must be thoroughly made. 
The best manufacturers make motors 
which embody the experience and the 
best thought in motor building. They 
are exquisitely made and carefully in¬ 
spected, and back of them is the repu¬ 
tation of the firm making them. Buy 
the best.
