Introducing the New Heco Deluxe Electric Blanket with “ Sealed in Safety ” The Highest Standard In Safety For Electric Blankets Just how safe should your electric blanket be? Heco have incorporated a new construction method that sets the highest possible standard in safety for electric blankets. In normal electric blanket construction the heating cable is free to move within the blanket — sometimes causing bunching which can result in overheating! Heco's new Bondwell construction method overcomes the danger of bunching. The heating cable is firmly sealed within the blanket minimising the chance of movement and overheating. With Heco you can sleep in warmth, and peace. special f .1 ■pSir > -W rrcM-in XitoHoaw «n > A < UUfr-j ’W •si \ / rw*i-4.-. x.. x 7 «•«*•< >x< wv ?
