ELECTRIC SERVICE
Electric Light and electric heat,
Electric range-,—good things to eat,
You turn the switch, the light is on,
Another tu rn ; the light« are gone.
The electric range has made a hit,
With the “ old mail” , no wood to split,
His wife is always happy now,
No more wet wood to make a row.
But best of all, his wife will say,
Is good hot water, night and day,
Kept boiling with an electric heater,
"Simplex” tlie name, there’s nothing neater,
(It surely is some water heater)
Using about two kilo-watts,
It keeps the water piping hot.
Of many wonders, these are only a few,
That C. O. P. electric service will do,
And so each month, in this space yon’ll see,
A plain, friendly talk from the company.
