I’m Living Better...
■■ j
Now that we have electric power
at our house, Mommy says that ru
ral living is happy living.
Thousands of farm families have
running water, bright lights, mod
em kitchens and freezers, too.
Daddy gets his work done faster
and he’s lots less tired because of
■HR
electric farm equipment.
He says the reason is because
of the rural electric system that
brought electricity to our farm, new
research in electrical equipment for
home and farm, and the coopera
tion of local dealers and business
men. Even I can see the difference.
