Electrify Your Home and Economise Everj' October the world takes off its hat to Mr Edison in honour of the great invention by which he gave us more hours of daylight TT doesn’t cost a lot of money to have 1 correct lighting. The selection of the correct types of lamps for each purpose and in each room, can make all the difference. o R O ” T 1 MI [1 TIMARU BOROUGH COUNCIL KING GEORGE PLACE, TIMARU TELEPHONE No. 3 Many homes, some which you visit, seem to have an indefinable “something” about them, investing them with a charm . and attraction which impresses you as soon as you enter. It’s the lighting. Elaborate furnishings, even artistic arrangement don’t make “home.” “Good lighting” isn’t the exclusive province of millionaires. The right lamps, correctly applied, will give a warmth and cosiness to the meanest room in the lowliest cottage. Light is the most adaptable thing in the world and can be applied to bring almost any results which may be desired. Do you want brightness and gaiety —there are lamps for the purpose—a cool clear light for the sewing room? A soft cosy light for the living room? A clear light for the dining table? “Effect” in the lounge? Added comfort and charm for the bedrooms? There is a lamp specially designed for every possible need in the home. The Electric Range THE ELECTRIC RANGE offers the most modern, convenient, and economical cooking method available to-day. It is no longer experimental equipment, but a time proven, efficient cooking device, practical for use in every home, large or small. Comparative tests show that Electricity is the most efficient type of fuel for cooking purposes, easily controlled, measured and regulated. This alone suggests economy in operation. There are no open flames or combustion of fuel to burn up the oxygen in the air or add impurities to it. Utensils can always be kept bright and clean. Kitchen walls and equipment do not become covered with a coating of grease and soot. Clothing worn in the kitchen can be kept spotlessly white. Safety is also an important w The Gift ELECTRICAL is 5 the gift PRACTICAL , In the stocks here there are many modern conveniences that lighten the dag’s work as well as the night’s darkness, \ and add to the comforts of life Everyone may be given per- : manenl pleasure by means of a gift Electrical . factor. No dangerous fumes, such as carbon monoxide, or disagreeable odours, are produced by electric heat. The heat is produced and concentrated directly through the utensils into the food. The air in the kitchen is always clean and healthy. There is no case on record where an electric range ever set fire to a home or exploded. Electric cooking is the modern method, producing better food at lower cost and without guesswork. In making the Electric Range the effort has been to produce a superior range, beautiful in appearance, the designing and finishing being in keeping with modern home furnishing and decorating. Greater convenience, greater cleanliness, greater beauty, greater value—all these recommend the Electric Range to the housekeeper who would have the ideal cooking appliance in her home. Make Your Housework A PLEASURE Not a Drudgery HOT WATER IN YOUR HOME Easily the cheapest of all Electric services is that of water heating' when accomplished by means of ja. well-designed Electrical hot-water system. With such a system, fitted with an element suited to the demand for Hot-water, a satisfactory Hot-water supply for the house is assured. This is probably the most popular service for which Electricity is used in New Zealand. No waiting to light fires, stoke up coke boilers or turn on califonts, there is the hot water waiting to be used at all times. In most cases the existing systems of hot water pipes in any residence can be utilised and fitted in with an electric system, and where there is NO hot water supply provided, it will be probably CHEAPER TO INSTALL an electric supply than any of the other systems known. But it is in the small upkeep costs that electricity scores, and it is almost impossible for water to be heated by any other method for the small cost entailed in using electricity. The element is completely immersed in the water, so that every particle of heat generated is absorbed by the water and none lost. Then the tank is “lagged” or efficiently wrapped with heatresisting material, which stops the heat from escaping from the water, which means that maximum service is being obtained in return for the current paid for. Electric water heating systems are not only the cheapest of all, but are really wonderful. Enquire to-day from the M.E.D. the cost of Installing a really efficient Hot-water Service.
