WAR BONDS
/EXE KEEP things hum-
W ming down here while
you're fighting up there.
We'll see to it that there's
plenty of electricity at every
switch at the air field and the
Army post—and plenty of power
for vital industries in South and
Southwest Texas that are turning
out important materials for Vic-
tory. '
All that takes lots of electric
power—but Texas has got what it
takes! CPL's trained employees, its
power plants and its transmission
system were ready when Uncle
Sam asked for power in a hurry.
American business management
made this possible. Because of it
South and Southwest Texas has at
least twenty times as much power
as it had in the last war. And busi-
ness management, which is now
producing about seven-eighths of
the whole nation's tremendous
flow of power, has provided our
country with five times as much
power as we had in the last war—
more than all the power in Japan,
Germany and Italy. •
Further, practical business man-
agement under public regulation
has increased electric service and
decreased electric prices so much
that... the average family enjoys
about twice as much electricity
for the same amount of money as
it did 10 to 15 years ago.
