<br />you don't use' such th1ngs lot' some-.
<br />thing speclal, lIrst thIng you know
<br />it Is gone and nothing to show for
<br />it, so atter much thought and cc;in'
<br />sldering, I decided to apply the
<br />money on something electrIcal. after
<br />all, wasn't the contest about some-
<br />electrIcal appllance.' I have quite - a
<br />few appllances and as one of my
<br />real ~ exciting dreams was a lovely
<br />new automatic electric range, that Is
<br />what I declded upon. I have put the
<br />check on part payment at a new
<br />Preway Range, and we purchased It
<br />tram the K C. Electr1c assocIation.
<br />So from Rural Electric to J{. C. Elec-
<br />tric Is II. good trans1er I believe. - J,
<br />know I shall be so very pleased with
<br />the clean and efficient operation of
<br />my new range.
<br />U you bave ally speclal Informa.-
<br />tion on how to get the most and the
<br />best 'out of an electric range, I surely
<br />would appreciate _hear1ng from ybu
<br />about It.
<br />Thanks again, and I remaln
<br />SlnCll1'ely,
