''Yon must find it a great convenicntc "Wouldn't be without it," was the '"'Not only brightens the house, but is handy and safe in the outbuildings, especially where there's dry- hay or straw lving about.-' "But where do you get the current from?" , •'Oh, I've my own little plant—DtelooLight. It's a perfect wonder —come and sgg it." And tho farmer proudly showed to the visitor his Delco-Light installation, and oxplained how simple in construction and how reliable in operation was this complete elcctric light.-and power plant. "So you gel power, as. well as light the farmer was asked. t _ "Yes, besides giving a beautiful light in every Toom, as well as in the stables, cowsheds, vards, and elsewhere, DelcoLight saves a lot of time and labour for the wife and mo by working the separator, the churn, the washing-machine, the pumps, and the sewing-machine.'
