To the Users of Signs and
Display Lighting
Some of our customers using current for advertis
ing display have responded to our request to economize
by cutting off their outside lighting. These customers
we earnestly thank. Other customers have considered
the matter and found that they could not discontinue
display without loss of business. To these customers we
are also grateful. Avery few have evaded our request
or have declined to consider.it.
In the circumstances we cannot expect any one to
dispense with display or sign lighting, and we, therefore,
withdraw our request that this class of lighting be tem
porarily discontinued. We still ask that outside display
be not used during daylight hours, and be tumel off as
early as possible.
To All Our Customers
. , • .rfr-
During the Holiday period we have been able to ac
cumulate a small stock of coal, but not enough to carry
us through a blizzard or other conditions that might
shut off shipments for several days.
Therefore, we ask again for your continuing co-op
eration in economy of use of electricity.
