Rural Electric People
Help Build
Payrolls In The Gty
E ach year, rural electric people all over the nation
buy more than a billion-and-a-quarter dollars worth
of electrical equipment and appliances—and tliis is
only a fraction of the annual total of goods and serv-
ices produced in the towns and cities and bought by
rural electric people.
Workers and businesses feel this rural electric
purchasing power where it counts—in their pay enve-
lopes and cash registers.
We are proud of the part we play in helping to
keep this nation's economy strong.
