the small isolated power plant was fairly
capable of serving the simple needs for
electric service. The uses of electricity
were few. It had not then assumed the
importance in daily life which it now
holds.
To day
the isolated power
plant is not capable
of meeting the mod-
ern demand for elec-
tric service. Great
generating stations
produce electric
power which is trans-
mitted over high
tension power lines
for many miles, thus
making possible
metropolitan electric
service in the smallest
towns. The Texas
Power & Light Com-
pany pioneered this
type of electric power
in Texas and is now
its leading producer.

to note that the greater American
cities are supplied with electric
power by privately owned and
operated power and light com-
panies. Experience over long
periods of years has proven that
private ownership makes for
greater efficiencies and econo-
mies. These cities are capable
of having the best of utility
services, and their experience
might well point the way for
communities with the ambition
to grow greatly.
The Texas Power & Light Company was
established seventeen years ago for the purpose
of rendering electric service to Texas cities and
towns.
It was evident, even seventeen years ago, that
Isolated power plants would not be able to sup-
ply the rapidly multiplying needs of Texas
people for electric service.
After long study and experiment the engineers
of the Texas Power & Light Company, together
with other leading electrical engineers through-
out the world, found that electrie-energy could
be transmitted over high-tension power lines for
electric button and receive instant, dependable
electric service at a reasonable cost.
Revolutionary changes have been made in the
methods of generating and distributing electric
power. Changes are rapid, so rapid, even now,
that equipment which is the last word today will
be obsolete tomorrow. Electric service has be-
come so inseparably a part of our daily life that
it would be impossible for us to move through a
day without its aid. The tremendous burden of
responsibility which is thus thrown upon the
Texas Power & Light. Company is borne with
true American efficiency.

From that day until this it has been the pur-
