TO ALL EDISON CUSTOMERS

Now available to home owners in this area is a new and better electric water
heating service.

Sweeping changes in the basic desig n of electric water heaters have been made to
give them greater heating ability. Heater action is now fully automatic- These
things the manufacturerS have done at our suggestion. At the same time, economy-
seeking revisions in Edison's water heating rate `have been adopted. The result is
the best water heating service ever offered in Southeastern Michigan.

Many families already use the new service. For the first time, theirs is a feeling
of complete confidence in a really modern and adequate water heating system.
Like them, you can be comfortable in the knowledge that the safe water heater is
now one of the most efficient, too.

Why a New Water Heating Service?

.

Really hot water is an absolute necessity in every home
today. It's easier, for example, to get the laundry clean
- (not just clean looking) with 160° water. But few heaters,
other than an electric, heat water that hot unless manual
adjustments are made. Such heaters, then, are not truly
automatic. And if a fuel-fired heater is permanently
adjusted
to heat 160°, servicemen say that there is a like-
_

lihood 'that heater life-will be shortened. With an electric
water heater, it is standard practice to heat water to 160 °
and heater life is not shortened.

Lots of hot water is a modern requirement. New electric
water heaters have the ability to operate day AND night
as demand requires. There is no period when hot water is
not available.

Exactly What's New About the Heaters?

Harry J. Lippman
Vies for ST Office

Electric heaters have always had superior features. Long
life, for one. In the efficient electric heating action, there's
no concentration of heat in one small area—no destructive
burning action. In addition, the manufacturers have always
cooperated in using only the best design and construction
materials. These rigid standards make a big difference in
lifetime operating and replacement costs. Lifetime costs
are also lessened by Edison's present liberal policy of
replacing electrical operating parts without charge.

Reception Honors Ruben Erlbaum, First OP Cantor

Maximum safety is another feature found in an electric
beater. There's never any flame or pilot light to worry
about. Arid because an electric heater is ftameleSs, no part
of its exterior shell is ever too hot to touch. An obvious
advantage is that only an electric heater can be placed any-

.

where . . even where small children play. There is no
danger of accidental burns. An electric heater can be placed
anywhere for another reason. It has no flue; needn't be
close to a chimney. You place the heater where you want
to, not where you must—and eliminate long, hot water
wasting pipes in the process.

These have always been standard features-in any electric
water heater. But we felt that the new unit should be better
yet. So we asked the manufacturers to redesign them to
supply more hot water than ever. This has been accom-
plished by use of two more powerful heating units. Ordi-
narily, the lower one alone supplies ample hot water. Once
in a while an unusual amount is needed. Then the upper
unit switches on automatically to handle the heavy demand:

New Rates Dependable Service

Along with the more efficient and dependable electric
water heater goes a new flat rate to make it more economi-
cal than ever. You benefit by having available up to 20
hours of water heating for -flat rate charges like these:

Flat Rate Charge per Month (Add Sales Tax)

50-gallon heater
80-gallon heater
110-gallon heater

4....$3.88, net
5.34, net
6.79, net

By the month these are slightly higher charges than the
older flat rates. But, considering the doubled hours of
operation available under the newer rate, the hoiirly flat
rate charge is less.

Old Customers New Service

Present electric water heater owners profit by switching
to the new service, too. They can do so simply by calling
the nearest Edison office. Then the time-switch will be
