Don t move into a House that isn’t wired for electricity Modern comfort demands electric service Especially is this true since EDISON MAZDA i LAMPS have made electric light a real economy. Everyone has always appreciated the safety, convenience Hnd superiority of electric light. Now EDISON MAZDA Lamps add to these acknowledged advantages—by giving you three times the light you’ve been getting with old-style carbon lamps without using any more electricity. That means 3 times as much light in each room—or, 3 times as many rooms lighted—or, 3 times as many hours of light—at the old cost. Our New Customer proposition will be of interest to you, if your house is not already wired. Electric Supply Station T. LILLARD Electrical Contractor
