An Electric Range gives you "new
hours" in every day. It cooks auto-
matically so that you are free from
* old-fashioned "pot-watching" in the
kitchen. It is so clean that you need
far less time for washing and clean-
ing up after cooking a meal. It re-
quires so little effort qn your part
that you have the personal energy to
enjoy your meals with your family.
