[Music] from Dayton Ohio to you from the never-ending parade of Moses all times all sizes performing many given John electric motors from the production lines of the largest fractional horsepower producer in the world manufactured for your high standard we adult all have a story to tell and an old-timer through teller hiya folks you know I sometimes wonder if people nowadays if they know the importance of a good motor and of course to follow like me it ain't very hard to remember back to the days when the wasn't any such animal is an electric motor and there was good days too when I think back to the quiet Sundays the friends that I miss now the girls that maybe I should have kissed but it wasn't all good I know for instance I remember packing down to the river when she froze over to haul up the summers I used to fly and the women folks women folks just slaving to get the family washout I tell you people have got it a lot better nowadays and a lot of it a lot of it is because of this electric motor yes sir that is a real servant in a couple days ago I was sitting waiting for the doc just my regular checkup and I got to thinking about a way that I could talk motors I said doc what's an electric motor one that run things bring to mind no sir he give me a funny answer he took that there and here in device out of his ears put it in my so while I just listen then I get the notion it was his way of talking motors course doctors maintained engineers but you know he gives me something to ponder now motors and hot ain't much the same but it's 18 we expect the same out of them I mean we want them to be strong we want to work in steady that's for sure and we don't want nothin to go haywire you can bet your uncle John on that in a lot of ish we don't pay much attention to a heart or a motor until something goes wrong with them and then then it's when all of a sudden it's mighty important if somebody would come to me and say old-timer I want you to buy us some motors I look at it just a little different since I talked to doc I'd look for things in a motor like I was shopping for a new heart what would i look for well a dependable heart that's for sure a strong one an endurance one that was made to fit me special and I'd ask for a guarantee of long life I'm even talking like a motor by on a holiday and I go to a place where I knew they knew how to make what I wanted I go where they made enough good ones so I wouldn't have to worry can they make mine yes because there I know that they could handle my business and understand what I was talking about a good motor it can add to the prestige of your product oh we know the lady in the house she don't buy a washer or a refrigerator because it's got a delco motor in it she picks a name she knows and if he smart enough to pick a great thing by then then she stands a good chance of getting the delco motor in it but just like I said she don't know much about motors why if I was to walk up and ring her Bell and ask her city how many electric motors do you have in your house it's pretty safe to say you don't know of course if the electric power was to go off he shouldn't find out but we wouldn't want to see a pretty little lady like that shoveling coal or rubbing clothes or choppy nice now she's got a lot of little motors doing all mjozwell course might have a washwoman and the maze and half a dozen others working for might if her husband was rich he ain't them but she's got the electric motor and it's made it possible to leverage even if she ain't if you ask me this motor age had come just in time preserving food well it ain't no problem not anymore and folks are saving time the time it took to think up ways to get out of washing dishes they got electric motors to do a brooms work and then washing machines they got them down to a point now you can almost wash your socks without taking them off your feet now it used to take this lady almost an hour a day just to hang up the twins diapers used to before she got that new dryer on the installment plan that's all right though give her time to play and time to do other things like iron shirts husband bought that alleged mangled father before they knew there was going to have twins women everywhere and kids to live in a little better because there's some good electric home tools to work with of course her husband ain't exactly going for his company put in air-conditioning and they get them fine electric water coolers but it don't stop there folks on the farm they got it better on account of the electric motor I recognize a job this can't be done better with an electric motor even dry in the hay automatic now yes files is taking a lesson from industry force motors in industry you're going to find them wherever there's rules turning plenty of serving the machine tool industry and all its special needs and industrial motors they got their place in the automotive plants doing the toughest jobs that motors have ever been pushed to doing jobs that they are built for it's pretty safe to say there's electric motors behind almost everything you eat where and use and there's motors to make you comfortable and safe on trips electric motors and transportation they go right together keeping trains heated right screw
