W. T. YORK & CO. If Your Neighbor Has Electric Light and you have not, just step into his house some evening after dark and compare its light with your own. Study each point of conve nience, cleanliness, clearness, heauty carefully, and then figure out for yourself if it would not pay you well to have your house wired for electric light at once. Electric light today is cheaper and better than ever before, since the General Electric Com pany placed its MAZDA lamp on the mar ket. We have arranged to supply our cus tomers with the G.E. MAZDA lamps on very favorable terms. These lamps give two to three times as much light as other lamps using the same current. If your house is located on any of our dis tributing lines we shall be glad to advise you nbout having it wired nnd will give yoii more facts about the efficient electric lighting of your home.
