It s Quality That Counts
In A Dairy Cow. . .
Progress and profits in the dairy industry call for milk-
producing quality in the breeds. To do justice to natural
milk-producing ability, feed your cows balanced rations,
containing protein, carbohydrates and minerals. Cotton-
seed meal and hulls have proved their quality, in well-
balanced dairy rations ... to supplement farm grains
and roughages.

How different it is in the United
States! Hero is a republic, governed
under law by men responsible to the
people. In this free nation, we choose
our life-work for ourselves. This sys-
tem of free enterprise, more than any-
thing else, makes the I riited States the
world's greatest nation. Because men
are free to dream and work as they
see fit, scores of industries have grown
great in America: the automobile,
radio, telephone and electrical indus-
tries are just a few.
As typical Americans, the em-
ployees of Central Power and Light
Company are devoted to the American
principle of working together, produc-
ing more of the good things of life and
making them available to more peo-
ple. 'Hirough their efforts electric
service steadily improves; at the same
time, its price steadily comes down.
Vl hat inspires the people of Central
Power and Light Company? They are
paid for what they do, id course. But
the best answer is this: the employees
of CPI. are proud of their part in
building a great territory, a great
nation. Tliey work as free men to
bring better service and value to other
free men. They are glad to create
wealth in peace instead of destroying
it in war.
(.PL lias been built by free Ameri-
cans. It is built to serve other free
Americans, its customers. It is free
from political dictation. I .ike all in-
dustry, like the nation
itself, it will succeed as
long as there are free
Americans to work for it
and free Americans for it
to work for.
