Electricity's Part
Hae jou stopped to consider what Electricity means to
America in this war?
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
