Care of an Electric Fan.

Most people have no use for an cleo.
tric fan in the winter. 1t should be
slowed away properly. however, so
that it will be kept in good condition
and be ready for service next season.
Here's the best way to do It.: After
you have unscrewed the connecting
plug Mt the end Of the flexible wire
which has been used to supply current
to the fan from the lighting socket
place the fan on a table and wipe it
on thoroughly with a dry cloth or dry
cotton waste, Go over the whole fan
carefully and get the dust off all the
exposed parts. wen the blades. Now
unscrew the tops Of the oil cups. which
are at each end of the armature shaft.
and fill them with good l%ubricating oil.
Replace the caps and wind the flexible
connecting wire around the base of the
Tan and inclose the whole in a pane,
