If Your Neighbor Has
Electric Light
and you have not, just step into his house
some evening after dark and compare its light
with your own. Study each point of conve
nience, cleanliness, clearness, heauty carefully,
and then figure out for yourself if it would
not pay you well to have your house wired
for electric light at once.
Electric light today is cheaper and better than
ever before, since the General Electric Com
pany placed its MAZDA lamp on the mar
ket. We have arranged to supply our cus
tomers with the G.E. MAZDA lamps on very
favorable terms. These lamps give two to
three times as much light as other lamps
using the same current.
If your house is located on any of our dis
tributing lines we shall be glad to advise you
nbout having it wired nnd will give yoii
more facts about the efficient electric lighting
of your home.
