Electric Water Heaters Aid Household Efficiency Compactly styled to slip under a kitchen counter or in an out - of -the-way corner, an automatic electric water heater keeps hot water flowing to every water tap that serves family needs. A 40-gallon fast recovery unit can furnish all the hot water needed by the average household, according to Commonwealth Edison company, tinder a special rate, the electric company's customers are charged only 1.05 cents per kilowatt- hour for water heating service. This means four gallons of water can be heated from 50 to 150 degrees for only one cent. Unlike fuel - fired units, flameless electric water heaters are designed for full heat retention. The use of inside heating elements permits the eritire outer surface ofstorage tanks to be blanketed by insulation. Fast recovery water heating is provided by dual heating elements placed near the top and bottom of the tank. Electric water heaters need no vents or flues. They can be installed next to the kitchen sink or dishwasher to keep pipe runs short. A favorite model with homemakers is the table top unit. It fits next to other appliances or kitchen cabinets to provide extra counter space. MAKES SENSE?

Shop In McHenry If technical ingenuity has anything to do with it, the clothes washing chore of the modern homemaker is become easierhy the day. - Support for this observation may be found in the 1969 home laundry product line of General Electric. One of its new units is called the Versatronic, a » "fine tune" washer which allows the homemaker to select any wash or spin speed combination that she deems best for her fabric'load. The Versatronic is considered to be the most versatile washer ever produced hy GE. It provides all of the answers to washday problems created by the bewildering array of fabrics in clothing and household items. The homemaker simply adjusts the machine as if it were her television or radio set, turning the dial and "tuning in" any desired wash speed from hand wash to the strongest agitation, or any spin speed from gentle to normal. Although the Versatronic has a special "Hand Wash" setting to accommodate bulky loads of special care clothing, it also features the exclusive Mini- Basket with its gentle action, perfect for small loads of delicate items. Nuisance loads, including sneakers and stuffed animals, also can be done in the Mini-Basket, ft*s made to order for leftover regular loads saves time, water and detergent. ; GE'S 1969 line of laundry pxipducts also includes a new, - popular-priced programmed vyasher especially designed to. solve the problem of proper clothes care in this age of new fabrics, new blends, new finishes.

Hie famed counterpart of GE»s new Versatronic Washer is its Versatronic Dryer, which requires only the push of a button to virtually eliminate all guesswork in the drying operation. One of its spectacular features is its electronic sensor which accurately senses and measures the moisture content in the fabric load. Meal fgr permanent press fabrics, the Versatronic tumble dries the garment with controlled heat to relax wrinkles and fluffs to original shape. An automatic cooldown period then reduces the fabric temperature making the garment wrinkle resistent and ready .to wear.
