Wired for Electricity
Practically all the new houses being built In La Grands
this summer will be wiied for electricity.
That Is as" It should be. Electric lights are recognized
as the only satisfactory lights for the home. They are as
essential as plumbing. They will pay you big dividends
in health and happiness. But if you happen to live In a
rented house, that Is no reason why you should be de
prived of their use. The cost of Installation U so small,
and the benefits so marked, that you will wonder why you
never insisted on them before.
