Electricity in the home, the office or the manufacturing establishment,
is not a fad or a fashion subject to charging styles or to be discarded 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
lor it are basic.
We are in the business of manufacturing, selling and distributing this
commodity. It is our business to furnish a never-failing supply of kilowatt-
hours and to distribute them in the most efficient manner possible.
