month. A family of three pays only
$2.25 ... and that’s possibly less than
out-of-date cooking methods cost. Gas,
too, is extremely economical—and with
either fuel, in use with a heat-control
range, it becomes possible to perform
cooking marvels impossible with old-
fashioned cooking methods.

We don’t know, of course, what
method you now use in cooking.
Perhaps you use gas or electricity in
an old-fashioned gas or electric range.
Both types of ranges had to make a
start somewhere, and just as the first
automobiles were troublesome, rattle-
trap things compared with the smooth-
running motor vehicles of today — so
the ranges, gas and electricity, that
first came on the market are not near-
ly so efficient as the kind now offered
for sale by reliable dealers.

It would be unfair to judge modern
gas or electric cooking by old-fashioned
cooking appliances—and frankly, these
were little improvement over coal and
wood ranges, just as the first auto-
mobiles weren't an awful lot better
than horse-and-buggy transportation.

These new ranges do not cost a
great deal, either — and which ever
your choice may be, gas or electricity,
a fine new range can be made yours
through a simple budget plan of pur-
chase, at B. C. Electric Stores. Also,
if you’re using a coal or wood stove,
B. C. Electric Stores will glady accept
your stove as part payment on a new
one—and you may rest assured that
a very fair value will be placed upon
it.

Think of preparing Christmas dinner
on a new range, equipped with oven-
heat control!

The biggest dinner of the year,
most likely! Yet it can be one of the
easiest you ever prepared if you were
to have a new range in time.

This Christmas — “Give Something
Electrical.”
