When a defective electric cord or appliance in your home causes a short circuit, you can save yourself incon venience and save us wear and tear on a service truck and its tires if vou'll keep spare fuses on hand and, when fuses "blow", follow the simple procedure outlined below. Remember, the trucks that serve you must last for the du ration, and it's to your advantage as well as ours, to make em last by eliminating all special service calls possible. Simple rules for fuse replacement FIRST, locate and disconnect the defective cord or appliance, or elimi nate the "overload" that caused the trouble. Then ? 1 . Go to the main switch at your meter box. Stand on a DRY SURFACE and turn off electricity. 2. Remove "blown" fuse, touching only its top. The fuse with tile scorched spot in the "window" on top is the one to remove. 3. Replace "blown" fuse with new one, as you would a lamp bulb, then turn on the main switch.
