The average family dirties-up a full acre
of dishes and three miles of clothes each
year. No wonder automatic laundries and
dish washers are meeting with so much
enthusiasm.
But, most important of all is the supply
of hot water with which to operate these
labor-saving machines. They are an addi-
tion to the other 140 needs for hot water.
So today, 85 per cent of all water used in
the home is hot!
In your modernizing plans a new auto-
matic water heater of ample capacity de-
serves first consideration. See your water
