; ------- NOTHING DOING, ELECTRIC LIGHT AND POWER A talk with us will convince yon that ELECTRIC LKH1T is the only light yon can afford to use in your home, or put in the house you are building. Your prop erty will rent more readily, will pay a higher income, and attract a better class of tenants IP IT IS EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRIC LIGHT. If you contemplate establishing any business requir ing POWER, it will be to your advantage to talk with us before placing your orders for machinery. The use of ELECTRIC power means: Lesser cost of ocration, smaller amount of space required, and great saving iu machinery and initial cost of installation of plant.
