WITH
ELECTRICITY
Mowing a lawn with an electric power
mower is easy and pleasant. It is just one of the
many tasks that electricity can make easier for
you.
Electricity is so cheap that you can not
afford to do without electric power for most of
your work. You'll save time and energy and be
able to perform many jobs better, electrically.

ELECTRICITY IS CHEAP!'
