t.,ke your pick. What do you think is the gr««tcst invention
ever made?
Certainly each is important, and each has contributed gen-
erously to our way of life. But the American public, in Dr.
Gallup's recent coast-to-coast survey, voted clectncity the
most important invention of all time!
It’s hard to imagine our type of civilization without elec-
tricity. We depend on it for so many things—in our homes—
in business and industry—in transportation and communica-
tion The hat on your head—the food on your table your
"newspaper—your favorite radio show-each depends directly
9 on electricity.
Yet American families spend just about ljf out of every
budget dollar for their electric service. Because electricity
does so much for so little is, perhaps, the main reason why
Americans have voted it the most important invention of
all inventions.
