CARE FOR YOUR ELECTRIC APPLIANCES Here's Mister Mixer. Nothing pleases him more than to mix a cake or to beat up a batch of candy . But he wants freedom when he works and when you leave a spoon in the batter it's the old story of an irresistible force meeting an immovable object with the result of bent blades put- ting Mister Mixer on the shelf. And now the Widow Washer . She's a worker if there ever was one . Treat her kindly and she'll never miss a Monday . . but when you overload her she'll buckle in the middle just like a human would do . So, if you want the Widow Washer to stay on the job just remember . . . MORE SUDS AND LESS DUDS . And then there's her motor . . . keep it oiled . OKLAHOMA GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY George A.
