LEADING THE WAY TO
THE HÒNGKONG TELEGRAPH,
BETTER LIVING
Many of the electrical con-
veniences known today were born in Westinghouse Research Laboratories
Ε
LECTRICITY was little known or used when the West-
inghouse Company was organized more than fifty years ago. Today clectricity is used-everywhere, and many of the inventions that have made this possible were discovered by Westinghouse.
Westinghouse research has contributed greatly to the ad- vancement of electricity; and Westinghouse products have carned a reputation for quality, dependability and attractive design. Modern electric refrigerators, radios, ranges, fans, laundry equipmcat... whatever electrical convenience you may name... all are made by Westinghouse, and made to the same high standards.
