CHATS WITH YOUR

The other day a friend said
to us: "why should you ad
vertise? You get nil the elec
tric business there is."
We are glad lie nskod this
question. Perhaps you, too,
would like to know -why. Here
Is our" answer:
It Is not sufficient that we
merely give good service, bo
courteous ajnd make friends.
We want to dispel prejudice
and misunderstanding from
the mind of tho public by
continuant statinu the facta
about our lusineKi
Wo believet ov r duty to let
the public, knw lie real na
ture of our blsiii ss and the
aims and Idejfc if ,thn men
engaged in rta$ ibuskaess.
There is no niyttury about It,
nothing that wA would wish
to cover up. Theilwhy not nd-
vertlse it?
Like' the man on the witness
stand we can say: "It's the

tell the truth -when there is
nothing but the truth to tell.''

PROSPERITY
A state, community or city can never grow fast
er than her utilities, or extend further than they
reach. The prosperity of a city or town, its alertness,
its up-to-date methods, its progressiveness, in fact,
its very chXracteJr are reflected directly to the ex
tent that thfiy exist in its utilities. Likewise, show
me a city with, broken down, unhealthy and restrict
ed utilities ajul I skall show you a city living in the
backwoods of aviliiation, with no parks, improved
streets or alleyswibi unkept homes and unimprov
ed public buildings; Without civic pride andl self-res-pct,
and withal aSlppshod1, shiftless, dozing, indif
ferent population a mighty poor and unattractive
place to live and do business.
