PETROL irons have long been recognised as the cheapest and most effective appliances, and so many improvements have been made in the “Handi” Iron that it is widely used by housewives all over Australia. Over 12,000 “Handi”

Irons have been sold in Australia during the last two years, proving their popularity, and depend ability.

This Iron, which can be used for ironing and for boiling a kettle and other household jobs, is a scientifically constructed, non-heating petrol iron, with many exclusive features. One attraction is that there are no expensive parts to renew.

Another useful appliance made by the same manufacturers, Handi Works Pty., Ltd., is the “Handi” Swift-Lite Petrol Lantern, giving 300 candle power. No pre-heating is required—it lights instantly and the control is automatic. It is very economical-one gallon of petrol gives 72 hours’ burning.

Particulars of these products are advertised in this issue and enquiries are invited by the manu facturers from traders who would be prepared to act as agents in their territory.***
