Because It Doesn't Earn the Low, QUANTITY ELECTRIC RATE But a house united through the exclusive use of modern, time-and-labor saving electric ap- pliances, costs you less. Enjoying the advan- tages of low,’ quantity-user rates, a house that’s All-Electric can freely use electricity for every job... and thereby do every job BETTER and CHEAPER. Millions of fami- lies will buy electric Refrigerators, electric Ranges and electric Water Heaters during the next five years. THERE MUST BE A REA- SON-—-AND THERE IS—Electricity does the job, ANY JOB, Better and Cheaper! THAT’S WHY America is GOING ALL-ELECTRIC. GO ALL-ELECTRIC The wisest way to use electricity at its cheapest is to start IN THE HOME and work outward... for this earns you the lowest rate at the outset. THIS low rate, in turn, becomes the rate you pay on ALL your electricity thereafter. And it's sensible, too: because the SOONER you use efficient, convenient, flameless, electrical equipment to simplify time-consuming work. the soon- er you release time for other, more profitable work or relaxation.
