Sam, “but let the L ord o r the

Whether you have the new Quick Recovery (three times
faster) electric water heater or the standard model, your
electric water heater is the key to BEST BARGAIN electricity.
It helps you enjoy more electrical convenience at lowest cost
— since the water heater uses only a portion of the low-cost
kilowatt block it provides.
That's one reason why home
makers served by Idaho Power Company enjoy a standard of
electrical living more than twice as hiqh as the national
average.
