Free enterprise i . .mother way of saying, “an even break."
Free enterprise, is t. .* basic Amorican principle of vision and
personal initiative. Jus', C've an American an even break a
chance to get ahead—end he'll go on from thqre.
In West Texas—where the “frontier” is a little more than
one generation removed-'-thc West Texas Utilities Company
is recognized as a real pioneer. It opened up an “electric fron-
tier” when in 1915 it constructed the first power transmission
line in West Texas. This first tranamission line, which helped
pave the way for the economic growth of the area, was built by
a fofseeing group of business men who believed that a tax-
paying, sen-supporting company could best supply the enormoua
amounts of electric power that the development of this western
empire depends on... at the lowest possible cost
Today, that original transmission line has been expended Into
a power system of 2,833 miles of high power transmission lines
...more than any other cpmpany In the Southwest... serving
322.000 persons with dependable, low-cost electric service in e
45.000 square mile area. ,
^ The West Texn* Utilities Company, ih 1947, contributed
more than $1,800,000 to local, state and federal governments
, paid more than $2,800,000 in wages to employee citisens of
West Texas. : / . ~
There are still new frontiers in electric living to be opened
...and businessmen can-do the fob better than bureaucrats. Be-
lieving In the soundness of the “free enterprise system,” the
Company will spend $18,000,000 during the next four years
enlarging plants and existing facilities, and building transmit
sion lines in an alUout effort to "open” thosfe rfev^ frontier*.
