"What woman's heart doesn't beat faster at the praise from her very own son, now come to his dinner-coat age! She can tell him - and you - her secret for fadeless youth. She has surrendered the hard and aging household tasks to General Electric appliances. Use these modern servants in your home. They are tireless, and most economical, too. Electricity is cheap - the more of it used, the less it costs per unit. General Electric research and manufacture make this complete line of appliances so dependable they pay for themselves many times over... in time and energy... in comfort and convenience. See your G-E dealer about our monthly payment plan on these work-saving aids that help to keep women young!"
TAKEAWAY: If you buy more stuff and use more electricity you'll save money and stay young. Genious!
