IS THE KEYNOTE OF WARTIME AMERICA
. 1
Ycor Electrical Appliances Can Help Yen Im
AS America’s military might grows, more and more of the nation’s
supply of food, metals, textiles and other resources must be devoted
to war uses, leaving less and less for civilian consumption. That means
that all of us must learn to conserve what we have in order that essential
raw materials may be released for war*purposes. Uncle Sam says: "Buy
carefully; take good care of the things you have; waste nothing.”
Your electrical appliances ean help you in this program of conservation.
Intelligent use of your electrical equipment not only enables you to pre-
vent food waste and prolong the life of clothes, linens, rugs and .other
household furnishings; it also conserves your time and energy and helps
safeguard your health and eyesight.
There is no room for waste in wartime America. It is up to all of us to
conserve what we use and own ... to make things last as long as possible.
Your electrical appliances, by helping yosi save, enable you to do your
part in the conservation program and at the same time maintain your
family’s health and morale at a high-level.
