The average per kilowatt-hour cost of electricity for the home has never gone up in price.
The cost has come down 17°Jo since World War II. The average cost is now less than one
half what it was in 1929.
Consistent reductions in rates over the past 20 yeara
—the latest in 1946—plus greater use of electricity
8c p«r KWH by more people has resulted in a steady decrease in
the cost of electricity. Such a record is made pos-
tible only by efficient work and management of
3.4c par KWH your business electric company.
