SILENCE
You hear only a low" hum
when Lalley-Light is run
ning in your basement.
It makes less sqund than a
good sewing machine.
It is without doubt the
most quiet electric light
and power plant on the
market.
This in 'itself is a great
comfort. You are not
noisily reminded that a
machine is making light
and power for you.
Lalley-Light is quiet be
cause it is scientifically
designed.
When you come in to see
it run, you will be agree
ably surprised at its
smooth, steady, quiet
operation.
We urge that you do hot .
delay a visit to our place ..
of business.
It will be highly instruc
tive, whether or not youj
intend to buy at once. , I
