C. . 91 Srlecbucitif Co4t fiotlUntf to- Make EVEN IF electricity could be made for nothing — the cost of using it in your home would not be greatly changed. A | large part of what you pay for electric light and home convenience is in the cost I of delivering it to your fingertips after it is made — and keeping it there every minute. To properly serve you, there is necessary a vast investment in the lines and equipment to carry, control and regulate. Money must be spent to main tain all of these lines and this equipment at a high standard for dependable service. An organization must be on duty day and night. Whether waterpower or steampower — the principle is the same. The largest part of the cost is not in the making, but the delivery and maintenance of the ser vice for any and every need, whenever you will it. And that’s where many “expert” figures go astray, in confusing “raw materials” with finished, usable service. Everyone of those steps is vital! Your home and this community could not risk anything less. In these days, when elec tricity is used in a hundred ways besides lighting, home life and health depend more than ever on the quality of service. Yet today your money for electricity buys more and does more things than ever. What else in the family budget can say as much. Other living costs, taxes and the like are up, but here’s one thing that’s the cheapest in history a penny-priced bargain in better living. South.
