Can be made one of the most useful ad
juncts to your business.
Any lar(e or small machine can be adapted to run
by an Electrft: Motor. The saving in time is considerable
and the expense light.
Electric Light can be used in so many ways and in
so many places where other forms of light are impossible,
or at best provide very poor results. Properly shaded,
Electric Light is the very best for any purpose in a work
shop, and we can establish this assertion to your satisfac
tion if you will name the place and time.
For .heating small accessories to your business or
residence, such as glue-pots, soldering irons, laundry or
tailors' irons, disc-heaters, curling-irons, shoemaKer'
tools, etc, electricity is taking a prominent position in the
" lausfling " bu'slness WCSrld. In" fact, the moderate cost
makes these uses worthy your investigation.
