There's no better military helmet than the one that protects the American soldier. It's made of manganese steel the toughest, strongest helmet steel thct science end industry together can produce. And this manganese steeL in turn, is made in electric furnaces at 3.000 degrees Fahrenheit! Electric power helps make steel strong and makes Uncle Sam strong, too. Electric power turns the machines that turn out "tin hats." tommy-guns, tanks and other war material. Electric power sews steel seams on fast building ships. One big, bade reason for America's match less war production is America's abundant power supply. We have five times the power we had in the last war far more than the Axis system of political management and state slavery can produce. And seven-eights of all this vast flood cf power is supplied by the electric power companies under experi enced business management, like Nebraska Power Company. NEBRASKA WiM COMPANY Low Rates x Get.
