ALL-ELECTRIC HOMES

The model home is electrically lighted, has the kitchen equipped
with an electric range, electric dishwasher, electric kitchen
set for beating eggs, grinding, mixing and polishing; the
dining-room equipped with electric coffee percolator, electric

luminous radiators, sewing machines, fans, pressing iron for the
sewing-room and Christmas tree outfits.
