ABOUT
SHOES!
Look what’s happened to
the price of electricity
Children aren’t the only folks who enjoy
a elide. Georgia homes have enjoyed
a general slide in the price of electric
service during the past 20 years.
In 1933 our residential customers paid
an average of more than five
cents for each kilowatt hour
of electricity. Today they pay
an average of only slightly more
than two cents. And this is 22 per cent
below the national average.
Along with this decline in price has
come an increase in use. Georgians
today use over three times as much
electricity as they did 20 years ago —
and 27 per cent more than the
national average. This is because
electricity is doing more jobs —
quickly, cheaply and efficiently — than
ever before. It is making life
easier and better for all of
us .. . and it’s truly the biggest
4 bargain in your family budget!

Your
Advertisements like the one shown
above, sponsored by Central of Geor

ways, now appear in color in leading

They tell thousands of industrial ex
ecutives about the huge market of 22
million people in the Southeast, and
sell them on the idea of locating in
this rich market area. In compiling
technical information and offering
qualified counsel, our staff of In
dustrial Location Specialists is of
particular assistance to interested
firms. Close cooperation with Cham
bers of Commerce and local officials
■ assures industry of better sites and the
most favorable operating conditions.
To keep abreast of this influx of
new industry and its distribution
needs, Central of Georgia and Sa
vannah and Atlanta Railways con
tinue to add new equipment and im
prove transportation facilities. This
is our way of indicating our unshake-
able faith in the abundant natural re
sources of the Southeast and its
ever-brighter economic future. We
join with the people of this great in
dustrial area in welcoming industry—
in Selling the Southeast!
