Company !s continu ing installation of the Thor electric washer and the Thor automatic e.lec>ric ironer, both products of the Hurley Machine Company of Chicago. The homes of Indianapolis have been "sold” on the Thor washer on account of the fact it. has be<?n proved the machine washes clean quickly and safely, and that it, saves time, money and hard work, officials claim. Some of the original machines introduced in Indianapolis twelve years ago are still in service. The Thor is sold with a guarantee that It will wash the finest and most, delicate fabrics without injuring the materials and that it is just as effi clent in the cleansing of the heaviest articles. ✓ The Thor ironer is a comparatively new machine, but it. is finding its place In scores of Indianapolis homes, because it. reduces the old-fashioned "Ironing day" to an "Ironing hour.” SCHORTEMEIER IN RACE Republican Party Official Candidate for Secretary of State.
