ELECTRICAL
Electricity Is Cheap -- -
Use It Freely To Make Your Home Livable.
Electricity makes a home livable not only because it brings brightness and cleanliness and health but be- cause it relieves the housewife of so much of the drudg- ery of house work that she is able to have more time for recreation and other activities which mean so much for the happiness and comfort of the family.
A wise woman has said that electric service pro- motes a good disposition and that good dispositions are essential to happy homes.
It's worth thinking about anyway.
And electricity today costs a small fraction of what it cost even a few years ago.

H
TRADE! You like
to patronize those concerns who are in business to stay.
It's human to expect that such busi- ness establishments always stand back of the wares they sell.
The advertising in this Directory is suggestive of the stability and per- manency of the advertisers.
Frauds, fakes, get-rich-quicks and other schemers have little use for directory advertising. It lives too long.
The modern City Directory is a business institution. It occupies a place peculiarly its own. It is as necessary to the progress and de- velopment of a city generally as anything naturally would be which deals with such a fundamental as the citizens themselves.
If you are not advertising your busi- ness in the Directory, may we ex- plain how and why it will pay you?
