Of The People
Utilize Electricity
Seventy per cent of the people of the
United States use electricity in some form
or other every day of their lives, and that
seventy per cent constitutes the happiest,
"looking ahead" part of the people of this
country.
For light, washing and ironing, cook
ing or what not, 70 per cent of the popula
tion is constantly employing that most uni
versal of servants-electricity. . . '
Electricity has done more than any
other agency to enhance the comfort,
health and happiness of mankind.
Do yoii line up with the majority, the
70 per cent; or are you with the minority,
the 30 per cent? : . .. ....
