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 fearn to think of these products in terms of the services that they render.

So it is in industry and com- merce. Through electrical prod- ucts 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.

Practically since electricity was born, Westinghouse elec- trical products have led the way to the ever increasing use and enjoyment of electricity. Today, as always, you can buy any Westinghouse product, for your home, for industry or power stations, with the confidence of "getting the utmost in~quality---

Ruthless Warfare

It is just possible that the mines were torn loose by a gale, but, since that they would fight the British blockade by any and all means, It le more than likely that they planted the blackade of floating dynamite in commercial Janes with the object of discouraging neutral shipping from carrying cargoes to Britain and forc- ing them to trade with Germony.
