"I'll never again be without automatic hot water. It's quite
inexpensive—only a few cents a day. (We hadn't known
before that Edison has a special low rate for water heaters.)
We've been pleasantly surprised, too, to discover that elec-
tric water-heating is completely dean and dependable
and trouble-free. In our home hot water flows all day—for
washing dishes, laundry, washing and scrubbing, baths,
constant washing of faces and hands. It certainly pays to
have hot water always on tap . no trips to the basement
... no waiting. From my husband's morning shave to late
baths, our electric water hearer helps us around the clock.
We consider it one of the 'finest services electriciiy
brings us."
