Greater Comfort For The American Home The modern miracle of electronics elec-tronics has been harnessed to provide the finest degree of comfort 'ever attainable in the American home. An electronic comfort . control , system has been developed by Minneapolis- Honeywell , Regulator : Company which features two electronic thermostats. One of the electronic electron-ic thermostats is located outside the home to send weather sig nals to the electronic clock con trol' signal where the weather signals are electronically inter preted to provide a constant degree de-gree of comfort from the heating system. , -The . Inside electronic thermo stat has two temperature dials. One which controls the tempera ture in the daytime, the other for night time regulation. The electronic control system auto matically lowers the tempera ture at night to any desired tem perature level, then automatically automatical-ly raises the temperature in the morning before you get up. Honeywell Ho-neywell engineers say the extra sensitivity and completely, automatic auto-matic operation results in from ten to fifteen percent savings in fuel costs. .. i Watch for later announce ments before October 2 in this paper.
