child. The boy had loaded it and
forgotten that important factor.

The Golden Staff of Life
Bread is the staff of life and golden-brown electric
toast is its most delicious and healthful form.
There's no use trying to demonstrate or even to imagine
that ordinary toast is as good as ELECTRIC TOAST.
In making ordinary toast it is very difficult to avoid
burning the bread, and burnt bread is something very
different from the crisp and delicate toast made by the
clean electric heat of the
G-E RADIANT
TOASTER
The electric toaster enables you to have perfect toast
at any time without the fuss and bother of building fires
and smoking up the house. There is nothing more suit
able for an Electrical Christmas Gift. Get one from the
