A Supplement entitled 'You're living in 1935' appeared in "Irish Industry" magazine in 1935 extoling the virtues of An All-Electric Home. The Electricity Supply Board provided the information and advise on an all-electric installation and the article featured a house in Mount Merrion which had been fully wired and fitted out as a show house for electricity and electrical devices.
