HE LOW COST of Electrit living stands by itself in these days of high prices. Not only has the price of Electricity not gone up . . . it has gone down. In fact, it has gone down so much that the average Indianapolis family today is getting twice as much Electricity for its money as it did twenty years ago. Mere low price doesn’t make a bargain . . . there must be value with it. That's Why home-makers who live Electrically know they are 'way ahead, because twice as much Electricity means twice as much home-help, twice as much convenience and

twice as much enjoyment of living.
