Ironing does not tire you the ELECTRIC way.

Wherever Electric Light is used there is a place for the Electric Iron.

This labour-saver simply needs pushing along, its surface is always bright and heat regular.

No bother keeping the iron hot,..no wailing from stoye to table, no waiting.

Electric Irons are cheap, last a lifetime and use only abour one-third of a unit of ELECTRICITY for each hour or continuous ironing
