THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1938.

"NO SUCH SUBSTANCE?

ALL RIGHT-WE'LL MAKE ONE!”

Like the jungle explorer, the electrical research worker must constantly deal with the unknown.

Through the long history of electricity, the engineers in West- inghouse Research Laboratories have known the thrills of develop. ing entirely new materials needed for new products, Konal, Kovar, Micarta, Hipersiland Hipernic, for example, are new materials devel- oped by Westinghouse. While these may be strange names to you, without them you would be without many of electricity's ser- vices that you enjoy today.

.

This is one of the reasons why Westinghouse has remained one of the most important names in electricity, And the Westinghouse record of accomplishment in re- search is matched by its reputation for quality and dependability in the electrical products it builds.

Whatever your electrical need ... be it for your home, for gen- eration and transmission, for in- dustry or elsewhere...

you can select the products of Westing. house with assurance of getting

the utmost in performance and satisfaction.
