We cheered, too. when the Government called
on industry to work twenty-four hours a day,
seven days a week, until this war is won.
But continuous production is nothing new to
the electric industry. We've always worked
that way. That's one big reason why we were
prepared to power the factories that are filling
the sky with planes, the earth with tanks, and
the sea with ships.
Production schedules that stagger the world are
possible only because America is so power
ful]. America has far more electric power than
all the Axis countries combined. And today's
power is guickly available at almost any point
of need.
These things have been accomplished because
America's electric companies have been built
and operated the American way — by good
business management.

In the picture above is shown just
a few of the many useful and orna

and made by Mr. D. L. Morrow, 2925

The history of this work is the
success story of a man, without a
job, who simply made a job for him
self and a well-paying business as
well. Mr. Morrow started, in a
small way, a little over a year ago,
and now he has a large trade in al]
kinds of cement pieces including
Stepping Stones; Bird Baths; Patri
otic Pieces; Monuments; Fence and
Clothes Posts; Electric Crosses (for
Churches); and many other kinds of
ornaments.
Last year Mr. Morrow sent a beau

New Vitamin Combination Brings Hope
to Childless Homes
Nothing equals a baby to bring com
plete unity and happiness into the home
ind tie husband and wife together in a
Wronger bond of enduring love and mu
tual interest. Divorce is rare in the homes
if couples that have children.
Unhappy wives, childless due to relieve
able functional weakness may now enjoy
the desires and activity of Nature’s most
wonderful creation—a normal, fully-de
veloped, vigorous woman. A sensational
new vitamin treatment specifically for
women may be just the thing needed by
the childless wife and quickly bring the
happiness of a baby in the home. It is,
of course, absolutely harmless.
If you are childless due to functional
weakness and lack normal vigor—if you
wish to eliminate one of the great causes
of unhappy marriages, by all means try
Perlex for one week. To introduce this
new vitamin combination to a million
women quickly, the Perlex Company,
1207 Southern Bldg., Chicago, Illinois,
will send a full $2.00 supply for only $1.00
and a few cents postage. Send no money
—just your name and address. Perlex
comes in a plain wrapper—directions are
very simple and no diet or exercise is '
required. Write today as this offer is |
fully guaranteed.
