hotels, restaurants, cafeterias,
and chefs famed for fine Icookin g
have chosen electric cooking. And
once you have enjoyed electric
cooking, you will never again
agree to cook with fuels. The rich,
natural flavor of meats and vege-
tables-the melting tenderness of
even the cheaper cuts of meat-
and the delicious cake and pastry
secured through accurate oven
controls,,are all distinguishing fea-
tures of this modern way of pre-
paring food.
Now a new achievement in elec-
tric cooking - Electrochef-- brings
electric cooking within the average

use of radiant reflected heat to
achieve speed, cooking efficiency,
and low cost of operation never
before equalled in any other elec-
tric range. Advanced engineering
design and mass production meth-
ods make it possible to give you
so remarkable a range at so low
a cost.
Electrochef has seven u.stinct fea-
tures of superiority. It is fll size-
has four burners on the cooking

table and an oven which will roast
a twenty-pound turkey. It is com-
pletely finished in glistening por-
celain enamel, with all metal parts
in bright Chromeplate. It is easily
cleaned-its smooth surfaces need
only be wiped with a damp cloth.
Accurate heat control insures any
desired oven temperature. It ie
clean and convenient--the heating
element screws into place like a
light bulb. Radiant reflected heat
means .economy of operation. It is
fast--the ovlen comes up to 400
degrees in less than five minutes,
and the burners on the cooking
table furnish an instant flood of
heat at the snap of the switch.

CACHEDTFOR SAFETY
The Modern American Saves for Cash
T HE Indian was a crafty man. He always maintained a reserve food
supply safely cached away in case of need. We may well take a hint
from him-saving, not food, but money. And we have this advantage.
The redskin could not draw interest on his venison while it lay buried
away.
