A 1965 snapshot shows four million gas clothes dryers in use, with 1964 setting a record 632000 units sold. The piece argues gas dryers save time and money, reducing back strain and ensuring quicker drying, fewer cleaning bills, and better sanitation while letting households wash more at home.
Electronic controls of automatic dryers are so sensitive that when you load wet clothes the machine may fail to sense dryness promptly and shut down, leaving users to restart the cycle.
Questioning the reader about handling wet laundry outdoors the piece warns of clothes pin fatigue. It compares manual hanging with using an automatic washer and stresses that a dryer completes the washday, citing Edison Electric Institute’s Live Better Electrically program and energy differences between hanging and drying.
Families with many youngsters benefit from a second laundry near the baby’s room or children’s quarters. Wrinkle free fabrics like cotton corduroy and jersey reduce ironing. Flameless electric washers and dryers automate care, keeping garments comfortable and reducing labor, especially for soil-prone kids.
