Blow Yourself to a Good Night's Rest

A cool room on a hot night is like an oasis in the desert. While others swelter and sweat, you can dream of cool woods and refreshing breezes. There's no substitute for the cool, quiet circulation of air set up the minute you turn on an ELECTRIC FAN. It's wonderful what an Electric Fan and a little imagina- tion will do.
