The new spirit in giving
m N these modern days of efficiency the world de
mands practical gifts. It has broken away from
the custom of giving presents that bring but
momentary pleasure. The gift ideal is the gift prac
tical—that which is not only beautiful and pleasure
giving, hut also is serviceable.
Electrical gifts, because of their practicability, are
the most popular gifts of the present Y uletide. They
possess all qualities of the gift beautiful. But in addi
tion to being attracitve and decorative, they also are
useful. When the donor selects an electric gift,
whether it be a chafing dish, lamp, coffee percolator,
toaster, disc stove, iron or luminous radiator, he is
certain of pleasing the recipient.
Make Your Gifts Electrical
to be sure they will please.
