You can’t see it, although it’s constantly a t your
fingertips. You can’t hear it, but it makes things
"hum .” Electricity is the magic touch th at brings
modem living into your life.
Electricity heats your home in winter, cools it in
summer, cooks for the family, does the laundry,
entertains you and can even "sit” for the baby.
There’s almost no end to the magical comfort
and convenience of total electric living.
Now’s the time to add the magic
touch to your family living.
