where wrinkles go to relax
Wrinkles get away from it all here—away from
the clothesline where sun and wind make
them hard to get along with. In a modern,
electric dryer they loosen up and take it easy.
Why not drop your wrinkles off here? An
electric dryer softly fluffs up and smooths out
all your permanent press and double knit
fabrics. It pampers your most delicate things,
too, because electricity is so gentle. And
when you have an electric dryer, washday
never gets rained out. You do all your drying
indoors, so*the weather isn’t a problem.
TP&L suggests you talk with your electric
appliance dealer about putting a new, modern
electric dryer in your home. And when you do,
ask him about the many other ways you can
make your life better, electrically.
