Turn On EWcftric Light* In You Home “ Ready to turn on the light* 1' That, it is declared, is the though b«k of the new, Installed Pnw run of selling Deko-Light. the wel known farm electric plant, whirl the company has just announced. The announcement of this plar 1* especially directed to those wh< I've in farm homes, it is stated. "W< want to make it easy for the farmer to have electricity in hi* home, and to know beforehand, just what the wb°|c thing will cost him," declared official* of the Dcleo-Light com P«ny, in response to questioning about this remarkable plan. Rriefly stated, the plan is to fur nish a standard model Delco-Lighl plant and storage battery, to install il complete, wire the house for ten nights, put in ten drop lights, com plete even to the electric lights in the sockets, put in a general power outlet anywhere in the house the owner may choose, in short to fur nish a complete Ddco Light instal lation, " Ready to torn on the lights," as stated above. Low prices are assured, on all models and. in addition financing of the purchase is taken care of. where necessary, by an easy pay ment plan which calls for only a small cash payment. The Dclco Light Company is well known for Us efforts at spreading the benefits of electricity in the country, ami many thousands of farm homes to day know what these benefits are, thanks to the kindly influence of these widely known Deko-Ligbt plants. It is safe to predict, with the aid of a plan like this and with so many thousands able to enjoy the advantages of electricity, according ly, that great numbers will take ad vantage of the opportunity which the Delon-Light Com|wny offers, to buy tbeir own Delco-lJght plants this fall and join the other thousand who are already enjoying this mod era convenience.
