ELECTRIC SERVICE
Electric Light and electric heat,
Electric range,—good things to eat,
You turn the switch, the light is on,
Another turn; the lights are gone.
The electric range has made a hit,
With the “ old man” , 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 you’ll see,
A plain, friendly talk from the company.
