CONVINCING THE FARMERS' WIFE,
HOW EVERYONE CAN HAVE ELEC-
TRIC LIGHT AND POWER
"I do envy you with your electric light and electric iron," said a farmer's wife, -when visiting a city friend. "I am sick of kerosene, with its smoke and; smell, messy wicks, and everlasting lamp-cleaning. And I don't carc for gas plants at all." 4 '"Tlien ivhy don't you get electric light?" replied her friend. "There's a wonderful system—Delco-Light—that has been specially designed for farmers and country people. It will give vo» all the light and power you want. Let us go along and eee it at 'The Farmers.' "
So they went, saw—and were conquered. What they saw was a simple, wellconstructed plant, consisting of an engine, dynamo, battery, and switchboard. This compact installation gives brilliant light to any country house, store, church, hall, or school. It also furnishes power to operate pumps, washing-ma-chines, churns, cream separators, vacuum-cleaners, and other small machinery.
What the farmer's wife realised was that I>elco-Light would make her rooms look more attractive—save her time, and lighten her labour—and give her children the best light for their studies'. Another point that appealed to her was the safety of Deleo-Licht. It safeguards property against the danger of open flames and explosions, and gives more fire protection than one can get in any other way. • And then the Economy of 3>elco-Light •was appreciated most 0 f all. She learned that running costs were small, and! that. Deloo-Light actually paid for itself m time and labour saved. As a result of this visit, another Canterbury farm is to have the comfort and convenience of electric light and power. Will yours be tho next? When .You are in Christchurch call at "The Farmers'" showrooms in Cashel street, and inspect the Delco-Light installation. Or, if you would like to read more of this great boon to country folk, write to N.Z. Farmers' Co-op. Association Box 921, Christchurch, for full particulars. , 24
