Own an Apex
You might as well enjoy the ownership of an
Apex Electric Washer because it pays for
itself week after week.
We believe the Apex Electric Washer is the
best machine on the market. More than nine
years of increasing success are behind every
Apex built today. The Apex was the origi
nal oscillator. It runs with least current,
washes in the shortest time, removing the
necessity of boiling or rubbing and is built
entirely of metal for lifetime satisfaction.
There are no moving paits inside the tub—
clothes wear longer and look better when
washed in the Apex. The swinging wringer
is driven by the motor that runs the machine.
You can swing it to any position desired. It
completes the circle of Apex convenience and
economy.
