Larger Electrical Demands
Show Community Growth
T'HE electrical demands of a community are a sure
index of its growth and prosperity. The figures given
below show the total annual output of electrical energy supplied by the
Mountain States Power Company during 1919 compared with 1916:
Year Kilowatt Hours Output , - -"'
1919 . . . . 23,251,195
1916 . . . 15,592,699
Increase . . 7,658,496
A business supplying necessary services, required by people and industry
365 days in the year, and growing at the above rate, is a good one to invest in.
This year many extensions and improvements will be made to the properties
to keep pace with the demands for additional service. Your money can thus be put to
work to good advantage to you and the community.
Our 8 Gold Notes pay a substantial cash return regularly every 6 months.

"As a Matter of Fact"
says the Good Judge
It will actually cost you
less to use the Real To

Any man who uses the

tell you that.
The full, rich taste lasts
longer and a small
chew gives more genuine
satisfaction.
