So much merchandise is up in price or down in quality. However, there's at least one real bargain that still provides high pre-war quality at low pre-war prices. That's the electric service you enjoy in your home. Actually, if yours is an average family, you're getting shout fwice as much electricity for your money today as you did 15 years ago. If your electric bill is no less today, it's because you use more electric conveniences w. But the cost per kilowstt-hour is much less, The eredit for this wartime bargain belongs to your friends and neighbors in this company. Their hard work, plus sound business management, made it possible. You can count on them to continue to furnish cheap, depend. able electricity for still finer electric living after the war, * Heer NELSON EDDY is “THE ELECTRIC HOUR" with Robert Armbruster’s Orchestra.
