Electricity in the home, the office or the manufacturing establishment,
is not a fad or a fashion subject to changing style* or to be di*carded as a
passing whim.
It is just as much an essential commodity as any other commodity re­
quired in the operation of these institutions.
Fashions in methods of its
utilization may vary from time to. time, but its usefulness and the need
for it are basic.
We are in the business of manufacturing, selling and distributing this
commodity. It is our business to furni*h a never-tailing supply of kilowatt-
hours and to distribute them in the most efficient manner possible.
This is what constitutes servee. The best possble service at the lowest
possible cost is our one aim. and we recognize that only by the accomplish­
ment of thi« aim can we discharge our obligations to the individual and the
community.
