m- B • i • 7 TO 14 DEGREES COOLER \ Users say: "It's like sleeping outdoorsi 11 r T v '***. Sir*., This is NOT the best house-cooling method in the world, but it's mighty good—as hundreds of satisfied users will tell you. Attic fan house-cooling has the virtue of being simple and inexpensive ... and it achieves surprisingly effective results. Even when there is not a breath of air stirring outside, you can often cool your house 7 to 14 degrees in the evening, making your bedrooms comfortable for sleeping. Here is the way ft works: During the day, the hot sun beating down on the roof converts your attic into a huge oven, with temperatures often reaching 130 degrees. Much of this heat is transferred through the ceilings to the rooms/fcelow, and at night, this burden of hot air^tangs in the house, even after the temperature outdoors has fallen considerably. An attic fan changes all this. After sundown, open your windows and flip the switch of the fan. Instantly its large, powerful blades blow away the oppressive blanket of heat in the attic and set up a gentle circulation of air all through your house. A flood of cool night air is drawn in through the open windows, making your rooms delightfully comfortable. An artic fan costs only about Vic an hour to operate. Prices range from $50 up (installation extra). Electrical dealers, department stores, and fan dealers will gladly give you full information about this low-cost method of house cooling.
