A long time since you’ve seen anything like this—a huge plate
glass window, framing a store full of gleaming, new electri-
cal appliances.
And it’s going to be a true picture soon—for electrical
appliances are beginning to return. Keep in touch with your
electrical dealer because it won’t be too long before he’ll have
his store stocked with refrigerators, rifigcs, radios, waffle-
makers, roasters, toasters, clothes washers, dishwashers—all
those electrical conveniences you’ve wished for during the war.
With the return of these familiar appliances, as well as
the appearance of many brand new ones, your electrical outlets
will be a greater source of comfort and convenience. You can
look forward to finer and more comfortable electrical living.
Remember that low-cost electricity is the biggest bargain
in your household budget because electric service gives you so
MUCH for so LITTLE.
