We're proud to present the new Speed Queen models for 1940. They are bigger, better-looking than ever before— yet prices remain the same. We have seen practically all the "competing lines," and we sincerely believe that the 1940 Speed Queen washer offers more beauty, more worth while features and more dollar-for-dollar value than any other present day washer. There are many, more expensive washers but none more dependable, more efficient and better-looking. So, why pay more? Why not makethe sav ing every Speed Queen model offers!
