Many women ask themselves this question.
The secret of leisure is household efficiency.
Electric power from G-E motors will give you
many leisure hours you could not otherwise
enjoy.
With a G-E motor on your sew ing machine,
washing machine and vacuum cleaner, you
can finish all your household tasks in a fraction
of the time you now use. The electric way is
always the easy way.
Let us demonstrate the value of electric
labor and time savers in your home.
