Centuries ago ELECTRICITY was revealed- as bric of Nature's gifts to the World.

In olden times when the Sun had set, everyone went to bed for lack of Light; and the only power available was hand power. Today the Sun's Light and Heat can be distributed to all, by day or night. ELECTRICITY MAKES THIS PROGRESS POSSIBLE

Many thousands of lamps spring into life and light in this country, for the first time, every evening ELECTRICITY MAKES THIS PROGRESS POSSIBLE

Every day thousands of Electrical appliances are installed in factories and homes, replacing the old methods of Heating, Cooking and tunning machinery.

ELECTRICITY MAKES THIS PROGRESS POSSIBLE Electric Service offers to the Nation, and to you, a practical and increasing aid to a fuller, more productive and healthier life,
