Accidents—How To Avoid Them
Death from accidental electrocution while using electricity in the home or industrial institutions is a rare occurrence when the proper elementary principles of safety and reason are observed, according to the most reliable statistics. And, in many instances, death from other causes is credited to electricity.
It is not a common thing for people to be electrocuted when turning on or off a light in a bath room while stancing in the tub or when one hand is resting on the inva-
tory; however, the water supply pipes, being iron or brass, serve as natural conductors of electrical energy and are ever ready to serve as conductors in case wear or abuse has effected some damage to the electrical material and the person acts as a
connecting link between the switch and the plumbing. The electric fixture manufacturers and the wiring contractors employ every known means of insulation to make switches and fixtures accident proof, but haste, thoughtlessness and gross carelessness often cause fatal accidents when positive safety devices are used. For your safety's sake don't turn a light or appliance on or off when standing on a damp concrete floor or when in contact with the plumbing fixtures in your bathroom.

Safety First Against Disease Germs
Do you know that our system of dry cleaning kills practically all disease germs. An occasional cleaning may ward off some dreaded disease. Keep the children's clothes clean while they are in school, because they are constantly coming in contact with microbes of every sort.
Do you know how your cleaner cleans clothes? Does he use clean gasoline or Naphtha? Would it not be a good Safety First plan to find out just how your clothes are cleaned. You are always welcome here to come and see how we handle your clothes; how carefully your delicate things are treated; how thoroughly the work is done.
We use only clean, sweet Naphtha, kept clean always by the De Laval Continuous Process. Safety First against disease, then Safety First in your selection of a cleaner. Send it to a master.
