La \"«;i use ;»er tubs for rinsing and bluing? ' 3 > ou liandle the clothes piece by piece? Do you strain your back, and risk personal injury feeding them through a wringer? If so you are needlessly doing hard and hazardous work * If you do the rinsing and feed a wringer you yourself are doing the Last * lard Half. For at most, washing and bluing is only the first half of the complete job. But remember, you can own a washer, the wringerless Savage, with its “Spin Rinse, Spin-Dry” that saves you the Last Hard Half—hand rinsing and all wring ing, as well as the work of washing. And it’s safe! Picture the Savage doing this for you! In a few minutes it washes everything thoroughly. Then without putting a hand in the water the clothes are spin-rinsed in the same tub by a flowing spray of fresh hot water direct from the faucet. In two minutes shut off the water; then, without any effort on your part, the Savage spin dries the whole load in one minute more. Already over 100,000 women are letting the Savage, with its “Spin-Rinse, Spin Dry” do the complete job for them. Why not permit us to show you how the Savage does the complete job — wash ing, rinsing and drying in less time than you can do it by any other mechanical method1 For we will gladly show you, without obli gation, in your own home how the wringer- , less Savage ends the Last Hard Half.
