The price is $3-50 a gallon, which will also surprise those who have the idea that the price of maple syrup travels up and down with the price of sugar.

A cur rent is generated, sent miles across country and con verted into heat,wherever desired—instant ly available, easily controlled and concentrated to t he h i g h e st degree. Electric heating devices have utilized this energy for domestic needs and have eliminated drudg ery, reduced fuel bills and fire risks, promoted cleanliness and simplified housekeeping. And in place of the grimy forge and of your finger tips the primitive bellows of yester day, modern industry calls upon electricity to perform speedily and more efficiently the thou sand and one tasks that require heat. The broad utilization of elec tric heat has only begun. The General Electric Company pio neered in fostering this energy to its present state of service, and will continue to apply all its resources — research, engineer ing and manufacturing—to the end that electric heat may have an equal place with power and light as a universal benefit to mankind.
