Long before the advance in the prices, we placed
orders for Electric Washers and also hand washers, of
which we have a full stock selling at prices away below
what they could be purchased for now.
We now have the electric service in Union, which
will enable all to use the current. What a fine Christ
mas present one of these electric washers would. make
for the house wife.
We also have some very beautiful and easy rock
ers, which would make very appreciative presents.
