Duval Street KEEP OUT OF THE KITCHEN, please, Madame, WE WANT A WORD WITH THE MASTER OF YOUR HOUSE ON ADEQUATE WIRING You ladies don’t want to talk about anything as common- place and unexciting as adequate wiring, but it's a highly important subject when you're planning your new alt-elee- tric kitchen! Important because once you're gotten accustomed to the convenience of anew Electric Range, you're going to want to do ALL your chores electrically. To do this, yout have to have enough ELECTRICAL OUTLETS. It's these outlets we want to talk to your husband about. First of all, Mr. Electric-Range-Owner-to-be, before your ing must be installed, some new wi new Electric Rang brought into your kitchen, because the ordinary electric light wiring isn’t heavy enough to care for the Electric Range. The dealer who supplies your new Electric Range, or the City Electric System that furnishes you electricity, can give you details of what's required. While this new wiring is being installed, it's a wonder ful idea to have additional outlets conveniently placed for FUTURE electric appliances—for once an Electric Range user, you'll want to always LIVE ELECTRICALLY. Se plan, in advance, how many outlets youll need to take pn, grill, cof- care of that toaster, mixer, juicer, waffle'ire fee maker, and all the other modern elctrical labor-savers that will be in your future! tsk The Lith Woman WHAT she’s going to want and WHERE she's going te use them. x kk * CONTINUED AS THE DESSERT-OF-THE-MONEM FOR p : ’ Listen to the new Scultest Variety Theatre, Tharedtens Gt Hy e City Electric System se a —
