“BRITAIN’S word has always been her bond but under this bunch of phonies, led by the biggest phony of all, Britain is turning herself into a satellite of America,


and her name is at rock bottom,’’ asserted Sir Frank Pearson, the Conservative candi­ date, speaking in the division this week. “ I stand for a Britain that is honourable and,respected and 1 wish to sec a Prime

This Bendix is the finest, fully automatic, deluxe washing machine you can buy

This Bendix does the whole wash, all on its own. All you do is put in the clothes and start the machine. Auto­ matically, It fills with water, heats the water to the right temperature, soaks, washes, rinses three times, spin dries and switches off. You select your wash programme and the machine does the rest. Bendix experience has given you the finest, most beautifully styled piece ot equipment you could own: a fully mobile machine years ahead of its time-the finest fully automatic washing


machine you can buy.


The model L. A. costs 110 gns. The super de luxe model L.S. costs 1Z5 gns.

Frank, Mrs. Coates, Mr. D. Coates. But even so you might want this one.


This Bendix is known as the L.T. It does all the things the L.A. does in exactly the same way. As you can see, it is almost identical. There is only one major difference to justify the extra 40 gns. that it costs-it incorporates the Bendix unique fully automatic, ‘hot-air,; tumble-drying action. Just imagine, one machine to cope with all your washing problems fully automatically in one con­ tinuous operation-put in dirty clothes, take out clean, fully dry clothes (or iron dry if you wish). Only Bendix could put so much experience and technical knowledge in one complete washer, tumble-dryer unit.


This Bendix L.T., combination washer-dryer costs 150 gns.
