Today, modern home life de-
ponds on electricity for heating
and refrigeration, cooking and
cleaning. entertaining, lighting
and many other comforts. And yet,
many people live in homes and
even plan new ones with wiring
little better than Grandpa's. They
sadly restrict the private life or
their home.
A beautiful view, a welcoming
hearth, comfortable c h a | r s-all
contribute toward a good life In
living and recreation rooms. But
almost everything you do in these
rooms depends upon the effective
use of electricity. And SO upon
wiring. With Adequate Wiring,
living and recreation rooms are
provided with enough convenience
outlets properly placed, to serve
lamps for reading, sewing, study
ing and enhancing the beauty OF
your furnishings. Other convent
ence outlets are provided to make
possible comfortable family radio
listening and entertaining, to
accommodate an electric phono-
graph, a movie protector and, de-
pending on the climate, an cleo
trio fan and, often. an electric
heater. There's a special outlet to
take care of FIN radio or even
television and enough convenience
outlets to assure comfortable use
of your electric home cleaning
eq u p m e n t. In an Adequately
Wired room, you can arrange your
furniture the way you want 1t. . !.
you can have lamps where you
want them. . and you're assured
of enough permanent lights, con-
veniently C o ntrolle d by we'll
planned switches, to further en-
nance your rooms beauty through
decorative lighting in coves, be-
hind valances, in cupboards or in
shelves.
Your living rooms private life
may not include all these uses of
electricity at present. But stop to
think. . how much OF the cleo
trical equipment you have in your
home today was there ten years
ago? Whatever the increase is,
you can be sure it's small com.
pared to the amount of new elec-
trical equipment you're bound 10
be adding in the years ahead.
That's why your living room must
have Adequate Wiring if it is no,
soon to become a living room
in name only.
: In a bedroom that has Adequate
Wiring, you can read in comfort
In bed or out. You'll have plenty
OF outlets for bed lamps, electric
clock. radio. heating pad-and the
electric bed covering. too. Not to
mention the vacuum cleaner. sun
lamp and other home : cleaning
and health appliances you may
wish to use there. Your private
life in the bedroom has a far
better chance of running smoothly
when you have a switch located
Just inside the door to enable you
to instantly light the permanent
light in the room and e the
dangers. You'll be in a better
mood, too. You'll no longer have
to guess as you put on your make
up. With Adequate Wiring, you'll
be able to have those mirror iights
you've been wanting.
,And the bathroom, too, u S s
more electrical equipment than
you might realize. In the Ad-
equately Wired bathroom, Dad can
use his electric shaver. .theren
be an outlet there and lights on
either side of the mirror, con-
trolled by a switch, SO that he can
see to start his day right, and in
comfort. Many bathrooms are
made safe by tiny night lights.
too. And a light inside the shower
compartment helps you to see the
soap before you step on it.
This is only a part of 1.-The pri-
vate life of your home. Watch
for this column next week to see
what a difference Adequate Wir-
ing makes in your life. c
