Some PEOPLE THINK the steel mills and ship
yards do all the national defense work. They
don't stop to realize the important part that
plenty of good, wholesome milk and cream plays
in keeping America healthy and strong.
"I'm proud to be doing a productive job and
glad I can get all the electricity I need to help me
do it!"
That cream separator is a tiny item in the
nation's use of electric power, but it's typical of
the thousands of efficient and economical ways in
which electricity is helping to SPEED PRODUC
TION throughout America. ?
ELECTRICITY IS READY HERE AND
EVERYWHERE as much as you want wher
ever you want it whenever you want it. Let it
help you live better, produce more.
de
Electric Industry has network of lines ready to
iver power anywhere! 3
You read of shortages of airplane engines,
ships and anti-aircraft guns. But have you ever
heard of a shortage of electric power except
from somebody running for political office?
National SECURITY of the power supply
has increased tremendously since 1918. America
today has 4y2 times as much electric generating
capacity as it had only 22 years ago. Thousands
of miles of high voltage transmission lines have
been built to interconnect power plants and
power load centers.
Who did this great job? The private power
companies the much-maligned "holding com
panies'they've done more than 90 of it.
They have provided America with the most com
plete and efficient electric service in the world.
That's why America is prepared, electrically,
and why Government funds and manpower can
be used for OTHER defense preparations where
there is an ACTUAL need.
