While working for Victory today, patriotic women all over
America are dreaming of and planning for their homes of
tomorrow. The well - planned home of the future should
have adequate wiring—meaning wiring installed in accord-
ance with high standards, adequate protection for all electrical
circuits, enough circuits to distribute the load properly, and
an abundance of outlets for quick and convenient "plugging
in” of electrical appliances wherever needed... making pos-
sible full use of the new quick-freeze units, refrigerators,
washing machines, and many other appliances that will reduce
the time and effort needed for household duties.
Assurance of the brighter tomorrow in which you can
enjoy the better living which Peace will bring means buying
War Bonds today and making every other contribution pos-
sible toward Victory.
