Based on average per kilowatt-hour costs of residential users
With other costs going up
budget-wise Homemakers say...
■*
Yes, the dollar you spend for elec
tricity today buys nearly 40% more of
the Clean, Safe, Dependable cooking that
is modern electric cooking than the pre
inflationary dollar of 1939! This is in
startling contrast to the continued rise in
cost of almost very other living commod
iy! Now is the time to “switch to the
modern, money-saving electric range!
Get more for your money . . . Go All
Electric!”
