True! Stirring Stories of the
Old Logging Days

IN MICHIGAN AND OTHER LUMBER STATES

hot water is making our life easier, cleaner and
pleasanter. Before we had it always on tap, we
didn't realize what a difference having it would
make. Now we know—after having it for daily
scrubbing and cleaning, unending washing of hands
and faces, dishwashing, baths and showers, and
so on. We're really in love with our electric water
heater. It's completely clean—and dependable and
free of trouble. It costs us only a few cents a day
to operate, for Detroit Edison has a special low
electric rate for water heaters. I'd advise you to
get an electric water heater just as soon as your
dealer can let you have one."

Water heaters are not generally
available for sale now. A few are
being rnanuf actured and distributed.
It will he to your advantage to have
your name on your electrical dealer's
list, so that you will be able to get
one at the earliest possible time.
