A Thought For MotheFs

Day * How many mothers are there in this community who

have toiled for years and years, keeping -their homes in order by means of old-fashioned methods?

We -are sure that there are a great many—dear, old ladies—whose pride is the home. They deserve the best of everything^— . • --

What could be' more appropriate than a gift which will help mother make easy a task which she^just simply can't refrain from doing—put new joy intd~heT~dairy^tasks —and keep the home cleaner than she was ever able to keep it with the broom? .

The HOOVER makes^an ideal gift for soiror daughter to^give to mother in observance of Mother's Day, May 13.
