Tailored Wiring
I
If it’s to fit your special measurements, and give years of wear,
takes expert tailoring of top quality material to suit your indi- ^
widual requirements. You certainly couldn't expect a 15-year-old,
suitor dress to give its best service now.
And so it is with your farm and home wiring. The wiring that
suited 15 years ago may have gotten a little snug around the j
kitchen, livingroom or barn, cramping efficient operation of your,
electrical appliances'and equipment. Wiring on every farmstead;
should be tailor-made to meet your individual requirements.
Here are some important suggestions:
* 1. Use quality materials—look for the UL label—cheap, ia*\
ferior switches, outlets and wire are often unsafe.
* * ]
, , X Have your wiring installed by a competent electrician who ,
will give you a tailored wiring job that will not only fit your
> -present needs, but can be expanded to fit future require
x ments.
$. Pay particular attention to safety—be sure that all motors ’
and appliances and equipment are properly grounded.
Why not drop by your rural electric office and talk with your
* electrification adviser or wiring inspector. They can give you
some valuable tips on tailored wiring

PASSENGER CAR STYLING comes to the trucking business in Ford’s 1957 Style-5
side Pickup. It typifies revolutionary changes in new Ford trucks which Ford dealers
display February 1. Full-width styling has more than just “eye appeal.” It widens the
truck’s load area by 20 inches, and adds 25 percent more load capacity than old-style
models offer. This pickup is one of nearly 300 models in the 1957 Ford line which ranges
upward to huge extra heavy duty models.
