I NOVEMBER 21-27 NOVEMBER 21-27 Si- 1 M hi w si ffectricify j Your Best Servant ' Electricity has come to be one of the, most important factors in our daily life, tJerefore it is interesting to know that the cost has constantly declined. I ... Since 1890 the cost of living has increased 140 per cent, that is : What then cost us $1 now costs us $2.40, whereas 10 cents buys the electricity which cost us $1 in 1890. . It Is, therefore, a grave mistake to omit convenient receptacles for at - taching irons, vacuum cleaners and .other household helps.' An electric flat-iron should be con bidered primarily as a working toot. -' - Any ,tool is of value only if it does .,p , fc the work for which it is intended, h j either easier, qafeker or better than the article it replaces. In other words, the intending purchaser of an t , electric fiat-iron should consider not 4 , to much the iron itself, as the work - .it will do and its serviceability. "Care of electrically headed ap pliances is i most important item in the efficiency of an electric iron Electrically heated appliances suffer most from frequently being left with current on when actually not in use. This must be avoided for at least '.three very good reasons: First, it s . wastes current: second, the exces- - sive heat impairs the finish, and ihird, it is apt to injure the heating element which will reach a much . higher temperature than the regular working temperature and damage is done. . i - The. best way to make sure that .the current is off is to pull out the switch-plug at the appliance. 't t,c ' "' Never turn off the current at the 1 lamp aotket unless the switch-plug , '.is out. ' ' ' Electric heating devices are always ready for instant use. : ,j : No wasted heat. ' CooL clean. 1 , ' . . Safe, convenient. f:, ' a Sanitary no odor. ' V , No soot no ashes. - , No flame to endanger life property. Toaster a Great Convenience. Electric heat is ideal for making toast. No disagreeable odors of gases of any kind to permeate the toast and effect its flavor. An . effective grill, is a mighty handy thing for the coming winter mornings. One can boil, broil, toast, fry, or in fact perform any cooking operation In the most sat isfying manner. ' Air electric warming :pad takes the v place', of the old-fashioned, trouble some' and cumbersome hot water bottle, t It is one of the most use ful articles. , There are so many times -when a little extra heat is needed. It is necessary to have in almost every home 'and business place a device that tyill supply such heat conven iently1 and Quickly, and it is to sup ply just that need that an electric heater is made. ' ' Its use in the early fall and spring to take off the chill, , rather than having the furnace fire in commis sion when not absolutely necessary, means saving of coal'by lessening the time when coal is being used. An .electric heater is fine for that cozy corner keeps the baby warm while bathing removes the chill whiie dressing warms up the garage, etc. An electric curling iron heater heats irons quickly and does away entirely with danger from alcohol or other, flame and is entirely free from fire, dirt or odor. ; When buying an electrical heated device alwayf,.specify the voltage de sired. 1 A device will operate only when used on a circuit of proper 'voltage. All devices are made for specific voltage ranges and when used on circuits of a lower voltage, will not heat properly, or when used on circuits of a higher voltage, will overheat ! and .;An-.;..,':.:, Electrical Christmas It's not too early to plan . for that big event and now is decidedly the belt time to bay, for our stocks are wonderfully complete with, everything electrical. j; Why not inspect our as sortments this week?
