"Good-bye kitchen
see you at six o'clock"
IN the WestiiiRliouuc Automatic Electric Range, women
have found all the ndvantaRei of electric cooking under
ntilonwiiic control, and a range that has many superiorities of
construction as well.
You miiy put dinner in the oven at ten in the morning, setting
the cUx-ic to start it cooking at three. You arc free lor the day
and return at six to find dinner ready to serve, piping hot,
thoroughly, cooked, and full of the flavor that only the heat
alotugc method of cooking can give it.
This freedom from the kitchen is only one of the many advan
tages of electric cooking. The time will come when you will .
cook with electricity why not now.
