HAPPINESS FOR SALE

When you buy any electrical product, you buy far more than a device made of steel and wire and automatic controls.

You secure greater health, happiness and leisure from the electrical appliances that enter your home and you quickly learn to think of these products in terms of the services that they render.

So it is in industry and com- merce. Through electrical prod- acts you get energy for the power stations that turn the wheels of industry, keep your city alive and provide you light- ed safety on streets at night.

But while electricity is most valuable to you for what it does, equally important to Westing- house is inventing, designing and building the thousands of electrical products that perform these tasks.

home, for industry or power stations, with the confidence of getting the utmost in quality. and performance.
