ishings at the Towels and Linen counter. And how about some of those colorful

gine the luxury of resting while this trusty little machine washes and polishes
those dirty old dishes to a shining, germ-free perfection human hands can't
match.. Dishwashers made by a fine, reliable company are available (for-immedi
ate delivery or for Christmas) at the Exchange for $180. Just think...over a
year's time, that's deluxe dishwashing service for a mere 50$ a day...and after
that, it's for free. Husbands, this is a great Christmas gift idea! Wouldn't
