HOW’S THIS FOR A CLEAN, COOL BARGAIN!
30 per meal
you can
cook better
electrically
You’ll enjoy a cleaner, cooler kitchen . . cook meals to per-
fection for pennies with a flameless electric range. Because
electric range surface units cook by direct contact with the
bottoms of utensils, they use heat thriftily. And the electric
oven uses heat only about one-fourth of the cooking time, once
it reaches the baking temperature you've selected. See your
dealer soon for a thrifty new flameless electric range ... a
bargain in better cooking.
