brides by the thousands will start housekeeping—'
if they can find a house to keep.
In days soon to come, light housekeeping will
be even lighter with electrical servants ready to
wash and iron, clean and cook at the flip of a
switch. And some day there will be many new
electric aids—air conditioners, food freezers, electiic
blankets, television sets, and all the wonders of the
era of electric living which lies ahead.
The electric service which powers these time-
and-labor-saving appliances will continue to be
inexpensive, friendly, dependable —, ready around
the clock and calendar —just as in the past.

electricity for granted, just as you do. We hope they
