A vacuum cleaner—an electric iron—every appliance ready at hand—with convenience outlets wherever you need them. A complete electrical installation makes life so comfortable! And when the wiring materials in the walls are made by General Electric— right down to the last piece of wire or cable—then it's perma- nent comfort. If you order a “G-E Wiring System,” you can plan with the con tractor—or just leave it to him—and get a complete installation. He will use G-E materials throughout. And the cost—while it will be a little higher than the lowest “rock-bottom wiring bid,” it will be more for your money from the day the wiring is in! i The G-E Merchandise Distributor cavries a complete stock of aB G-B mfimflngifimuhh%fimwmm materials lest your work be held up.
