and Ward Baking "IV 5. With the
exception of Belgian francs, which
broke nearly Rfl points on reports
that the forthcoming revaluation

over Germany's entrance to the

Founded
Consumer Confidence
Customer ownership means not only an oppor
tunity to invest: it indicates also the confidence
which the customers have in the company that
serves them.
Customer ownership amonp public utilities begran
about 1914, but it did not develop actively until after
the World War. In 1919 there were 45.000 customer
owners in the electric light and power industry aa a
whole ; at the end of 1 925 there were approximately
1,307,000 a twenty-nine fold increase.
The customer investors in the Associated System
during the same period increased from some 600 to
approximately 21.000 a thirty-six fold increase,
reaching a ratio of 1 investor to every 13 customers.
The management of the Associated System prizes
the confidence which the consumers those who
know the company and its daily business methods
have in it, and realizes its obligation in maintaining
a sound, growing business.
