In wintertime, people in houses with
flame-type heating wake up mornings
with that stuffed-up feeling. With hoarse,
dry throats. Furniture dries out and start
creaking.
Sound familiar? You bet it does. The
best way to stop it is with electric heat.
You see, electric heat isn't a dry or
drying heat.
So you usually don't need a humidifier.
The moisture from bathing and cooking
is all you need for natural comfort.
An Edison-Approved Electric Heating
Contractor will be glad to tell you all
about comfortable, moisture-retaining
electric heat. He'll figure your operating
cost, and there'll be no obligation. And
right now, your contractor's offering a
100 trade-in on your old heating sys-
tem. Call him for an electric heat survey.

He'll show you how to turn your desert,
