This ad is written to tie in with the movie featuring the Dionne Quin tuplets at Hunt's Craterian Theater. But what an important part hot water, and plenty of it, plays in the care of these famous babies. Everyone will agree that hot water, always ready at the turn of the tap, at just the right temperature, is a great convenience for any family, whether they have quintuplets or not. An automatic electric waterheater is the one economical, dependable way to provide perfect hot water service twenty-four hours a day. The California Oregon Power Company . ' ...
