' Second Floor i "EVERYBODY store" mm The Ape If the Tub of the Apex Were Laid Out Flat - It would resemble the desert of Egypt; a flat, smooth, dreary surface, studded with comparatively 'insignifi K cant pyramids, ttie "Apexes.7 There is a mystery about , these "Apexes"- to many. They can't see how so small v a thing can be of any great importance, yet ' without them the rest would be as nothing. As the pyramids of Egypt are the great feature of the desert, so are the "Apexes" the most vital part of the Apex tub. Science offers an explanation. x Electric Washe, Has .no moving parts inside . the tub. The're is nothing but 'the smooth walls of the peculiarly shaped tub lined with these "Apexes." But when the tub oscillates and the machine is in operation these "Apexes" serve to create both vacuum and pressure that forces and sucks the water, steam 'and suds through the clothes, removing all the dirt. Without ' the "Apexes" there would be no vacuum, ho pressure and no clean clothes. . The "Apexes" take the place of the corruga tions seen in most tubs, and they are more . efficient than the old-fashioned corru gations. Corrugations are seen in woodtubs. The Apex is made entirely of metal. There is no wood to rot, warp and splinter. The Apex" Washer is ever sanitary, since there are no crevices to collect germs and filth. The Apex is guaranteed rustproof it requires no more attention than your dishpan in the kitchen. No laundry is complete without this mod ern, machine. ' It costs less than 2 cents for current to do a washing with it. It eliminates boiling and rubbing it washes and wrings electrically.' Those who wish to save money, time and health are postponing each day that they are without the Apex the fulfillment of their (Jesires. pur easy payment plan makes it possible for all to own. the Apex it pays for itself. Ask for a free trial have the Apex do your next washing.
