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.
