GARLAND SCRUGGS, Mgr.
?23 Arendell St. Moreheai City, N. C.
With a kitchenful erf kiddies, a busy homemaker deserves a>
the convenience she can get. And for toil-saving convenience,
there's just nothing quite like a kitchen where electricity does
everything.
You'll find no flame-type fuels in this family eenter. Instead,
the single, versatile service ? electricity ? lightens and brightens
the daily routine. As a busy homemaker, you can appreciate how
it speeds each mealtime chore and eases every tiresome task,
safely, cleanly, conveniently.
No better time than now to springtime your kitchen with that
sparkling, new range or dishwasner. Or better still, enjoy a real
case of spring fever by planning your own total-electric kitchen.
A nearby electric appliance dealer and your CP&L representative
will be happy to help you trade toll for convenience, why not eril
one, or both of them, soon?
