ELECTRICITY SAVES TIME AND LABOR
MjjjSSKBfcMEjB . .., mi,, I
When you consider the time and labor that electricity
will save on the farm, the greater efficiency that it
brings in practically every line of farm work, and
the increased production that naturally follows an
electric plant for light and power becomes not the
luxury which you may have regarded it in the past,
but a real necessity to a wide awake progressive
farmer. .
