A Real Comforter
Almost any kind of pain can be quickly relieved by means
of hot appliances, yet many people employ less effective
methods such as liniments, plasters, etc., on account of
the trouble and mess incidental to the use of hot water.
The G-E Electric
Heating Pad
saves all this trouble. It is ready for use in an inst ant,
band will furnish you with the necessary heat continuously,
day and night, without causing the least bit of bother.
The Domestic Size makes an excellent Electrical
Christmas Gift. Come in and see how nicely it works.
