J Electric light is the cheapest of all artificial illum inants, considering EFFECTIVENESS, CLEANLINESS and CONVENIENCE. f.Even without these considerations it is cheap enough to be within the means of anyone. f Electric service is available to the smallest as well as the largest user, and it is in the smaller houses that its many advantages are most apparent. However small the rooms, or closely crowded, the atmosphere remains pure and unchanged. Nothing so much, as Electric Light adds to the at tractive cheerfulness of the dining-room on.parlor, and then there is the convenient reading lamp at the head of the bed, or the porch light controlled individually from the interior. f The list of Christmas presents should contain some of the new electric heating devices, an electric hair-curler, or handkerchief iron, or a heating pad (taking the place, of the out-of-date hot-water bag"), a chafing-dish, a coffea pot, a foot-warmer, a ready-to-use electric-lighting out fit for decorative illumination of the Christmas Tree, the dining-table, or the rooms on festive occasions. Cf It will pay to look into the inducements we are offering (in connection with the. new lamp), to those wno make applications for installation of - electric lighting- " (f Fill out COUPON and mail to us TODAY.
