• There are thousands of women
who consider themselves eco­
nomical just because they are
struggling along with their old-
fashioned ranges. If they are en­
joying this drudgery, all right!
But they would get more enjoy­
ment from a modern electric
range—be better cooks—and be
truly economical, too!
Reasonable electric rates have
made electric cooking competi­
tive in cost with every other
cooking method. In addition,
the savings in time, labor and
food that accompany electric
cooking make for real thrift.
Let an electric range dealer or
our nearest office demonstrate a
modern electric range for you
today. Consider its advantages...
then judge whether it’s Worth
while to put up with your present
cooking method any longer.

Plentiful hot water cuts your work in half!
• It is amazing how quickly laundering,
cleaning and dish washing are finished
when you are in the mood— and when
you have adequate hot water. And how
often adequate hot water puts you in the
mood. With automatic electric hot water
service you can turn a faucet any time,
day or night, winter or summer, and out
will come a stream of hot water of a
safe, even temperature. The fickleness of
the weather and range or furnace coils
will no longer determine your hot water
supply. Since the new 8-mill rate has
been introduced, everyone can afford
automatic electric hot water service. Ask
for details. Also how your $10 down pay­
ment on an electric range will install an
electric water heater in your home as well.
