FAITHFUL, UNTlRING

Today, the simplest home must be
made attractive and the woman with
the average household allowance finds
herself confronted with the same de-
mands for good home-making as does
her richer sister. She must keep her
house immaculate, her hospitality ever
gracious, and she must have leisure
for the many demands that modern
living imposes. Yet for all this there
are few human servants, even could
she afford them. To fill their places
and 10 meet these many needs, come
electricity and electrical equipment.
Safe, dependable, tireless, efficient
