What a Difference it
Makes to Mother
WATCH the average farm mother your mother,
for example as she goes about her daily work.
You'll be amazed at the amount of physical labor
she does. .See her operating the churn straining
over the pump stooping under the heavy pail of
water rubbing and rubbing and rubbing over wash
board to say nothing of her ordinary daily chores.
Then after the day is done, see her trying to se
or read by sickly, cheerless kerosene lamp light.

to mother if your install a . 4
