HOUSE & GARDEN 
xsnnnnrrnnr joooannna^^ 
W HEN plans are being drawn is the time to provide 
for baseboard outlets and lamp sockets from which 
to utilize the great housekeeping help of electricity. 
Important among electric conveniences are the built-in 
vacuum cleaner and the Inter-phone. These are recog¬ 
nized as standard equipment in new houses where fullest 
efficiency in home management is desired. 
To put in the piping for the cleaner and the wiring for 
Inter-phones is a simple matter when the house is going 
up. The additional cost is slight. The only visible parts 
are inconspicuous openings in the baseboards, covered by 
hinged lids, where the cleaner hose is connected, and neat 
wall plates for attaching the Inter-phones.

The stationary electric vacuum cleaner has reached its 
highest efficiency in the type manufactured by the 
Western Electric Company. It is thorough in its re¬ 
moval of all dust and dirt, is economical to use, and 
operates at the turn of a switch. 
The Inter-phone provides for instant communication 
from room to room, is immeasurably superior to the 
ordinary electric bell or buzzer, and can be installed at 
a comparable cost. 
“The Electrical Way in the Home” is the title of a 
booklet describing every possible domestic application 
of electricity. We will send this to you on request, to¬ 
gether with full information on the vacuum cleaner and 
Inter-phone described above. Ask for Booklet No. 242-A.
