( ( Omaha of the Future A Wonder City of Better Homes I MANKIND, down thru the ages, has felt the urge for new, higher planes of “better living”. From trees, caves, cliffs, to tents and huts—and later to cottages and palatial mansions, civilization has evoluted. With each generation has come new progress-—new stand ards of life and home comforts—-an inspiring example to posterity. The greatest advances in this direction have come since the discovery and development ot Electricity. nHEREVER “Better Homes” are found—Electricity lends its benefits. Comfort, Convenience and Happiness in the Home . is largely augmented by it. ♦ I BETTER HOME illumination, greater efficiency in houseclean ing and in cooking today, is made possible by Electrical power. Thus, quite logically, in any movement in the interests of Better Homes-Electrical Servants demand the efficient Housekeeper’s con sideration. Each passing year finds thousands of homes, wherein modern, highly improved ELECTRICAL equipment has superseded inefficient servants. With the aid of ELECTRICAL devices now obtainable the thrifty housekeeper does her own work without human assistance, yet, with great savings in time and labor and her own nervous force. t HARDLY is there an operation in present day housework that cannot be performed quicker, better, more thoroughly and economically with Electrical devices. Washing, ironing, cleaning and cooking now require only a fraction of the time and effort formerly necessary. I ELECTRIC Servants, aside from adding the “finishing touches” to any home, will do much towards making YOUR present home BETTER. Come in and let us show how you can transform your home to this new era—“better living”. ■ ' 1 Note These Slight Costs for Electrical Servants nr HE ECONOMY of se * lecting Electric Servants can no longer be questioned.
