22 • THE PORTLAND TIMES - 4 RELIABLE SERVICE It Costs I No More ' Servant Problem With Us , : ( :: VERY woma.n in Portla.nd who has any ho1110work of her own to do knows we are telling an exact but painful truth when we say the servant problem is one of the most aggravating issues of tpday. You simply cannot get household help of a satisfactory character without feeling as if you had spent a month in the front line trenches. And, on top of that, wages have gone out of sight. Now, a very large part of this worry and grief is entirely unnecessary, and you can reduce your household expenses very materially at the same time and have your work done in better shape, exactly the way you want it and when you want it, if you will do just what hundreds and hundreds of families right here in Portland are doing. And this is what they are doing: Like yourself, they have grown weary of fighting an unsuccessful and never-ending battle with the servant problem and they have turned to the greatest of all household friends and economizers-Electric Energy and Invention. The two very best labor-saving devices that any up-to-date home needs and has con– stant use for are-the Electric Washing Machine and the Electric Vacuum Cleaner. The wise and prudent and thrifty housewife has long since dumped the antiquated old wash tub, washboard and hand broom sweeper into the ash can and they have in– stalled the neat, attractive, efficient and economical Electrical servants-the washing machine and the vacuum cleaner into their homes, and no woman who has ever used either of them will ever do without them again. We are- selling them like hot calces right tow, for in the hot weather is when they come in the handiest and make their value apparent immediately. Drop in at our Electric Store, Electric Euilding, some time when you are down town and let our expert demonstrators show you just how they work. It will cost you nothing, and if you want to buy, you can buy these wonderful labor-saving devices on easy monthly installments. You can pay for them while you are using them. \ And Serves You Bet=ter Portland Railway Light & Power Company EVERY BUSH AND LANE PIANO IS BUILT SO GOOD THAT WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY ELIMINATED THE COSTLY AND RUINOUS PRACTICE OF BA VING TO TAKE PIANOS • BACK ON ACCOUNT OF FAULTY WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIAL.
