ILLINOlS lltl TlfcVPMOIII COMPANY •A.V " : 8 easy to change ^your own fuses... Save yourself trouble--help conserve for Victory by learning these simple facts about electric fuses... When you change a blown fuse yourself" instead of calling for a service man, these are three benefits: your electric service is restored sooner, with less inconvenience to you--you do not incur the 75 cent minimum service charge--and extra service calls site eliminated, saving tires, gasoline and cars. Read how simple it is -- you may want to tear this out of your paper, to jog your memory if a fuse blows. What Is a fuse? A fuse is the "safety valve" of your electric dfcntt. It is shaped like a screw plug or a cartridge, and contains a metal strip that melts, breaking the circuit^if it is overloaded. When the strip melts, we say the fuse has "blown out". (In some new homes, an automatic switch called a "circuitekreaker" is used in place of fuses. Service is restored by snapping a switch after the cause of die ramble has been removed.) : What makes a fuse "Wow"T The common causes of blown fuses are defective cords or wires and overloaded circuits. Keep your cords in good amdition--avoid broken, frayed or loose cords. Don't connect too many lights or appliances to the same outlet. IMPORTANT: If new fuses blow repeatedly alter you have disconnected the appliance, lamp or cord which you believe has caused the trouble, perhaps your wiring is defective. In such cases call your Electrical Contractor. ^,OCMed in ^ la • 2- RemoV8 «»• bl«m fuse *"°°* for a fuse with i 9 'osert l new fuse PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY of Northern IllinoisV^; Sendee Order 101 Williams St., Cry st&l Lake -- i 'eleph<me Entorprise 4100.
