Your television set and its aerial
represent a good-sized dent in your
pocketbook. So just naturally you
don't want anything to happen to
it. That's why Reddy urges you to
be very careful to keep that aerial
away from all electric lines.
Reddy wants you to know that
there is constant danger lurking in
power lines d a n g e r that can
claim your life, or destroy your
television set. You should remem-
ber this when planning the lo-
III
e@e
cation of your TV aerial and at the
time it is being erected.
And here in Iowa, the heavy wind,
storms can easily knock your aert
into nearby power lines.
If one of our servit anen, should
ask you to move your aerial, re-,
member that he's trying to help
you avoid a costly accident to your
self or your set. Call our office if
you are in doubt about the lomtiott
of your television aeriaL
