"You might see something you shouldn't see." But he disobeyed and went anyway. I asked then. "Did you see something that you shouldn't have seen?" "Yah," he replied. "I saw my father." And this is one of the reasons I like running the GUETTLER'S CITIES SERVICE. You do good work on servicing automobiles, handle fine merchandise, and because of it, you make friends of customers and hear some dandy stories. Phone 331 SPECIAL DISCOUNT TO COMMITTORS Before you buy any range, find out FLAME TYPE 5 minutes 31 seconds--still below boiling point ELECTRIC 5 minutes 31 seconds--at boiling point ^RESULTS OF RECENT IMPARTIAL RESEARCH: Independent engineers of the R. W. Hunt Company (who made this series of teste) stated: "We ran several speed studies--comparing 3 modern flame-type ranges against 3 modern electric ranges. One electric surface ifnit boObd'a quart of Water in 5 minutes and 31 seconds. That was 56 seconds faster than the best flame-type burner tested. We made' tWenty-one tests in all. Results showed that the three electric ranges averaged 40 seconds faster than the three flametype ranges." (All ranges tested were top brands.) The answer: Nothing cooks faster than today's electric ranges! If you have to get meals in a hurry, you know speed is important. " But modern electric cooking offers more than speed. For instance, when you cook vegetables the waterless electric way, the flavor is all there! And don't worry about scorching, because the electric unit heats- the pan evenly. There's no cooler way to cook than with a new electric range. Electric ovens are so well insulated they keep your kitchen up to 10 degrees cooler than flame-type. Heard about our New Installation Plan? It can save you important money on installation of a new electric range. The Plan is available at all appliance dealers' and Commonwealth Edison or Public Service Company stores. Makes owning an electric range so reasonable there really isn't any reason to wait. ffow •l*ctrlc rani low "* #2.16 a waak, compltto, Insftalladl ••' ^11 /• -• V jif .
