Congratulations to Walter Leverette, manager-owner of Orchard Park Farms, Incorporated, upon the completion of his fine, modern packing plant. As usual in modern industrial progress electricity will play its part in the success of this new plant. Electricity is the answer to present day industrial power needs, large or small. When you press a switch . . . power is there, in stantly. There is always just the right amount of electricity back of that switch to perform the task you ask of it. Practically all work requiring power can be performed more economically, more conveniently, with electricity. The more electricity you use the cheaper the rate, whether in your home to light the living room or power for the largest manufacturing plant.
