The Vanishing American
Cooks, maids and housekeepers are getting
scarce as hen’s teeth! In fact, there are a half-
million fewer today than ten years ago. At
the same time, the number of families has
increased by millions!
However, this state of affairs hasn’t confused
Mrs. America. She knows that wired help can
do the job of hired help.
Think for a moment how electricity lightens
your household tasks. It vacuums your rugs,
washes and irons your clothes, heats your
water—even entertains you—at the flick of a
switch! Does all this—and more—for only
a few cents a day “wages”! What else gives
you so much real value at so little cost?
: With the prices of everything else rising . ..
and rising ... electricity remains low in price
—a bigger bargain than ever!
