16 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 13, 1923 ELECTRICITY SOLVES THE SERVANT PROBLEM The decrease in the number of do- mestic servants, as shown by the last census is not due to the shortage of persons willing to accept this sort of employment, according to Edward N. Hurley, Jr., Vice-President of the Hurley Machine company of Chicago. "While the census shows that there has been a decrease in the number of persons listing themselves in the domestic service classification," said Mr. Hurley, "a recent survey by the field force of our company shows that - more women than ever before are do- ing their own household work by pref- erence. This is largely due to the in- creased use-of electrical conveniences. Electricity Saves Labor "There are now approximately 2- 500,000 washing machines of all makes and types in use in the United States. While the washing machine has been on the market for many years, the full appreciation of this labor-saving device did not reach its climax until the period of the war when thousands of women left do- mestic employment to go into muni- tion factories. "Back in 1909, there were only about 3,000 electrical washing ma- bh chines in the United States. Today, the Hurley Machine company alone is manufacturing 12,000 a month. The future possibilities of the industry are shown by the fact that there wll be at the end of this year 9,500,000 wired homes in the United States."

Forty years ago the first Long Distance tele- phone line between Boston and Providence, 45 miles long, was built. Two years later the New York-Boston line, 235 miles long, was completed. In 1892 the New York-Chicago line was opened and in 1911 the New York-Denver line, 2,100 miles, was finished. In 1915 another 1,300 miles was added and San Francisco was brought into telephone communication with the east. In 1920 the Key West-Havana cable extended the long distance facilities of the Bell System to the Island of Cuba. These extensions of range have been accom- panied by improved transmission and greater operating efficiency. No other nation has the long range of telephone speech and the quality of service that we In America enjoy. Get acquainted with the money and time saving features of our "station-to-station" service.
