We? re just one big happy family now ! 1 . We really didn't have any fam ily life. None of us kids stayed home nights unless we had studies to do. Dad took the only so-called reading lamp we had. Mother hovered around, mending or try ing to read the paper when Dad . finished with it. m . s k wxxm. 2. We kids couldn't seem to do things together like other fam ilies. When we read, we got headaches or became restless or irritable. Mother made us give up games because they always ended in a row. That's why we staved home so little. 3. Then Bud's sister, May, (Bud's my pal) started training to be a home lighting advisor. She practiced on their house, and say this light condition ing stuff made a wonderful dif ference. I didn't know seeing could be so easy indoors. 4. Then I had an inspiration. I asked May to tell us what ailed our house. Dad was afraid light conditioning would cost too much, but May assured him it wouldn't because Pacific Power & Light Company's electric rates are so low. - 1 1 ill Your eyes will get a thrill when you read or work by the light of this I.E.S. study and reading lamp.
