24 Hours a Day...
All
Year
Around
The light of the silvery
moon is alright in its
place . . . but . . . for
modern farming good clean, cheap electric
light is much better. It doesn't depend on night
fall to shine . . . it's there when you want it 24
hours a day, all year around. Just press a but
ton or turn a switch and you've got light. Don't
be without electricity, the farmer's faithful
and efficient friend.
