Tireless, day in and day out, the Electrical men of the nation are mnrshalitiB the forces of heat, light and power for the greater economy and efficiency of our factories, farms, mines and homes. The Utah Power and Light copipany is especially fortunate in being able to render a double service to the great territory it serves and to the nation. By utilizing the water power of mountain streams, which would otherwise be totally wasted, this company generated during the year 1917 over 500,000 000 kilowatt hours of electrical energy. In turning the wheels of ndustry, in operating irrigation systems, and in its service in the factories ami homes of Central anil Northern Utah, Southern Idaho and Western Colorado, this vast quantity of electric power actually saved last year 1,000,000 tons of coal" for use in those sections of the country where hydro-electricnl energy is not availnble. During the past ear we have enjoyed a splendid co-operation from our customers which has been of the utmost value in prvit,e ai,equate' cfficknt - i Whatever jour part in the grim struggle in which oui country is engaged, you will find Electricity your willing an i tS8fl crwin , at all times adding to the efficiency of your Vork Z its saving of money, time and effort. y Utah Power & Light Co.
