you'd see why it is that nearly eighteen
hundred homes within reach of the Copco
lines are now using electric ranges.
Two hours a day, every day in the year,
Is probably a low estimate of a housewife's
time In the kitchen. Sixty full days, in
all and they're worth making easier !
Electrical cooking is easier, and cleaner.
It puts an end to dirt and ashes. It means
less sweeping of floors, less cleaning of
walls, cleaner utensils.
Electrical cooking is tastier. Uniform,
controllable heat saves the flavor of dainty
foods.
Electrical cooking is economical 8iur
prisingly so. The average cost of electri
city for cooking is only about twice the
cost of the electric lighting current in th
same home. (Actual average figures tot
your own neighborhood will be shown you
upon request.)
Don't pass the next display of electric
ranges without just dropping in and ask
ing your dealer more about them trad
about the convenient payment terms h
is offering.
