Electric Lighting Convenience
Reading in bed is one way to win slumber
to wakeful eyes; the light is banished at
the call of dreamland. The early morning
look at the clock is easy by electric light. -No
home can be entirely comfortable with
out electric light, and it is not expensive.
The G.E. MAZDA lamp has revolutionized
electric lighting by giving more light for less
money. We arc furnishing these new lamps
to our customers.
If you own a house located in our
distribution lines vc will give you
facts about wiling it for electricity.

Beat Your
No? WHY?
Because it hurts: Well, my dear sir, it hurts your car
pets and rugs to beat them; wears 'em out; makes you
spend your hard earned money for new ones; ever stop
