TO LIVE BETTER ELECTRICALLY- TO MAKE FULL USE OF TODAY'S WORK- SAVING APPLIANCES, YOU NEED ...
HOUSEPOWER
Today 4 out of 5 homes are underwired. Their wiring systems just haven't kept pace with the ever-increasing additions of new, labor-saving electric appliances. If your home suffers from LOW HOUSEPOWER, if it hasn't a 3-wire service entrance of at least 100-AMPERE CA- PACITY, call your electric contractor today. Without obligation, he'll advise you how to put your home in the FULL HOUSEPOWER class. Then you can take full ad- vantage of low cost electricity to live happily - electri- cally - as never before.

DO YOUR EMPLOYERS FURNISH YOU WITH THE LATEST EDITION OF THE CITY DIRECTORY?
You need it at your elbow at all times, to protect your company from forgers and bad-check artists. A few questions, checked against City Directory informa- tion, will trip them at once. Intelligent use of the City Directory for this purpose has saved thousands of dollars and helped make some cities "too sharp" for bad-check "operators."
