I found this in my husband’s grandma’s house. It’s a pamphlet from 1973, courtesy of the Montana Power Company. At first glance, a hilarious patronizing of women and domesticity (I mean, really, can women only comprehend electricity when things are written couplets and simple rhyme schemes?). But upon further review, I got to hand it to the power company, there’s actually some useful bits in there.
