Intro­ duced by Plaskolite, the pi­ oneer in interior storm win­ dows, it's called the Vinyl In-Sider Storm -Window Kit. The Vinyl In-Sider is very simple. It is made up of a tough, clear flexible vinyl sheet held in place by an easy-to-install frame which you fasten to the window casing or wall using adhe­ sive already on the frame. The sheet is held in place on the frame by a top molding, completely sealing the win­ dow against air infiltration, drafts or chifls. This system of saving heat or air cooled air is so effective that two leading magazines for the home, Good Housekeeping and New Shelter, after their own tests, declare that plastic sheets, properly in­ stalled, will save up to SO percent of the heat nor­ mally lost through uninsu­ lated windows. Vinyl In-Sider not only seals off infiltration better than most storm windows, it also conducts less cold than windows made of metal and glass. Plastic is a poorer conductor. Since the dead air space created by the Vinyl In-Sider is greater than double glazing it offers more insulation Brake Parts Company McNeary'tN*. 1 ftapUyr invites you to visit our •eellw, Ne/s 33 A 34 to see who we are ^ and what we do and make at .

For the past several winters, many parts ol the country have experienced energy shortages. The oil and coal needed to make electricity couldn't be delivered. Rivers were frozen. Stockpiled coal was frozen solid. The machinery to move coal was lrozen. As fuel ran low. electricity had to be rationed. Plants and schools were closed. Iteople were laid off. Shivering became the national pastime. But not in northern Illinois. It wasn't luck that got us through those winters: it was nuclear power. Over 40% ol the electricity we make comes from nuclear fuel. Because no matter how much it snows or how cold it gets, nuclear fuel is available--weatherproof Enough uranium to provide all the electricity a mod* mcxU^mxn abundant coal and uranium That help* to coraanw th» scarce tuefe oil and natural gat we need for an Illinois winter can be stored in a one car garage. In summer. Nuclear power gives us the reliability we need to respond to summer peak demands without brownouts. In the last decade, when growth of air conditioning helped increase demand for electricity more than 35%. Edison's nuclear stations had an unbroken record of summer availability And nuclear power is today's great energy bargain. It costs about a penny and a hall a kilo­ watt hour less than coal and over lour cents less than ofl. If we'd replaced our uranium with low sulphur wertom coal in 1980. it would have cost an extra $460,000,000 in fuel expense Using oil or gas instead of uranium would have driven the cost up to almost. 1.5 billion dollars Instead, the nuclear fuel we used, the equivalent ol 46,000.000 barrels of oil saved over 10% on your electric bill With our strong nuclear capability, we're ready for the weather Let it snow.
