From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for June 4, 1912:

[Poetic advertisement]

“‘The Swinging Electric Breeze’

Why sigh for the breeze

That wavering flows

Thro’ the trees and leafy glades?

We’ll give you the breeze

That steadily flows

From the thrust of whirling blades.

Pay dear if you will

And seek where you can

For breeze worth a prince’s dower;

We’ll give you your fill

From a ‘lectric fan

At less than a-cent-an-hour.

Come in and enjoy the swinging breeze of the celebrated G-E 8-inch oscillating fan.

INDISPENSABLE in Hot Weather.

If you are spending money trying to keep cool in some other way, turn over a new leaf and invest in an —

ELECTRIC FAN.
