WHY DON'T
YOU
Use Electricity
for Lighting
It is certainly cheaper than oil, costing only cents
per night for a 16 candle power light.
It is less trouble, needs no attention and is always
ready.
It is safer, and where used will reduce insurance if
oil is entirely eliminated.
There is no danger from fire.
Lines will be extended to any part of town where the business
warrants such extension and the consumer can have either the same
flat rate as was used by the former management, or if the consumer
so desires a meter will be Installed.
If you are thinking of using electricity, let us know and some
one will call upon you to give any information you may desire.
