Fifty Feet From Carnegie Library Food for Thought Just Suppose \\ tf PRE-WAR ELECTRIC RATES wer-e restored in Georgia Let’s assume you are an “average” customer of this Company, a home user of electric service whose bill is usually about $3.50 a month, which is the average. In 1913, at “prewar” rater, In 1932, af present rates, you A monthly saving you would have paid actually pay of $5.05 $3.50 $1.55 OR A SAVING OF $18.60 A YEAR! When you hear people say, "Electric rates should be put back to pre-war levels,” just remind them of the above. Their plan would raise your electric bills, not lower them. This is true because: I The average price paid by resi dential customers of this Company for electric service is 30.7 per cent lower today than it was in 1913, the year before the war began. (y If 1913 rates had been restored “• twelve months ago, onr residential customers would have paid us, in one year, $2,000,000 more than they ac tually did pay, provided that the HIGHER 1913 rates had not forced many to cut down on their use of elec tric service. ^ If 1913 rates were in effect, our residential customers would now be paying an average of 7.55 cents per kilowatt hour for their service instead of only the 5.23 cents per kilowatt hour average they now are paying. ^ Going back to pre-war prices would save you money on prac tically everything you buy, except on your electric service. Who Wants to Go Back to Pre-War Prices on Electric Service? CERTAINLY, NOT YOU ALL SERVICE CHARGE payments are included in the 1932 low average price of electric service as given above. The Service Charge type rate has reduced, NOT increased, the rates of considerably more than a majority of our customers. Be cause this rate was made available, thousands of .Georgia homes, small homes, now are enjoying the use of electric refrigerators, ranges, water pumps, and other appli ances. Under the old style rates '(■without the Service Charge) only the wealthy could afford to have these time-saving and labor- saving devices in their homes. ,GIA COMPANY F. B.
