IS THE ELECTRIC LIGHTING
IN YOUR HOME JUST RIGHT
Perhaps the wiring, wall switches, baseboard out
lets (for flatirons, vacuum cleaners, fans, etc.) and lamp
fixtures are not installed so as to give you maximum con
venience and comfort.
If problems of this kind perplex you we can offer
a service which you will appreciate.
At your request we will send a representative to in
vestigate the lighting equipment, to design the alterations
necessary, and to give you an estimate of the cost.
The service of our representatives is without charge.
They will see, also, that you are placed in touch with re
liable electrical contractors to do the work.
Our service is offered, not so much to sell addition
al electric current, but to add to our long list of well sat
isfied patrons.
