Glowing Warmth

WHERE YOU WANT IT— WHEN YOU WANT IT

Chilly corners can be warm as toast these cold fall mofnings.
A modern electric heater gives you instant warmth from
your nearest outlet. Easy to carry, easy to operate. There is
no cleaner more convenient type of heat. These new, low-
priced heaters are ideal for warming baby's bath area, your
dressing room, bathroom, or grandmother's favorite corner.

And It Costs Only A Few Pennies An Hour .. .

but unlimited use can cause high electric bills. For example,
a thousand watt heater at residence rates costs only 17 1,4c a
week when used one hour daily for seven days. This same
unit, however, when used 8 hours a day costs $1.40 a week
and will add $10.20 to your two months' bill. Consult a
reputable electric dealer who can recommend a heater of
sufficient wattage to fit your particular needs. He can also
tell you just how much it will cost to operate.
