FIVE WAYS IN WHICH
DELCO LIGHT INCREASES
FARM EFFICIENCY

l. Work which was formerly accom-
plished by hand can now be done
electrically with current supplied by
Delco-Light. Time and labor are
therefore saved.
2. Delco-Light brings to the farm
all of the modern benefits which
formerly attracted the boys and girls
to the city.
8. Delco-Light solves the retired
farmer" problem. by bringing to the
country home all of the conveniences

of the city

of the city.
4. Delco-Light makes the home a
better and more enjoyable place in
which to live Therefore, everyone
becomes cheerful and contented.
5. By correcting fundamental liv-
ing conditions on the farm, hired
labor is attracted to the farm rather
than to the city
Delco-Light Saves Time and Labor
