LET'S
GET DOWN TO
Some people feel that their electric
bills run too high. Perhaps you feel
that way too.
Because you are doing business with
us practically every hour of the day and
night we think we should discuss the
point.
The simple fact is that of all your
household bills electricity is one of the
few that gives you more for your.money
today than formerly!
Your dollar buys less food today. It
buys less clothing. It buys less shelter
than it used to.
It buys twice as much electricity. Dur-
ing the past ten years the average cost
of electricity has been reduced about
50% per unit. Your bill has probably
not come down, because most of our
amm
:: ;■
customers are using about twice as much
electricity today as they used ten years
ago.
Half of our customers pay only eight
cents a day or less for electric service.
Almost all of them use at least three ap-
pliances. Many customers who use five
or more appliances pay no more than
ten cents a day.
There are two reasons why electric
service is cheaper now. First, because of
our operating economies. Second, be-
cause of your increased use of electricity.
Moreover, you can automatically cut
your own rate. Under our modern rates,
the more you let electricity lighten your
burden of housework the lower the price
becomes.
We of the electric company are proud
of these accomplishments. We sincerely
feel that we are making available to you
a service which not only steps down
steadily in cost, but also steps up stead-
ily in efficiency.
