He added that his company had been purchasing this item in large lets. In giving what he believes to be the reason for this record-breaking record-breaking demand, the local merchant merch-ant went on to say: 'The average family is economizing econo-mizing this spring, in our town as everywhere else. One good way to save money, people find, is to do more of their own housework the washing, for example. Of course, they want to cut out unnecessary un-necessary labor, and so they buy up-to-date washers such as the new Voss. Then, too, this machine ma-chine is priced very low, and that also has been responsible for the big spring demand for this popular Thave been writing to the manufacturers of this washer who. hv the way, are the pioneers of the fndustry asking for rush delivery on my orders.

If other manufacturers had gone ahead the same way and encouraged encour-aged new business, they believe prosperity would be much more widespread at the present time," the local merchant concluded. |
