farm life can be blessed more by
electric power than anything else.
Think of the drudgery, the toil
and discomfort that the electric
light, pump, range, washing ma
chine, wood saw, etc, save.
And the best part of it is that
it pays for itself. To those who

power now as it received during
the Republican years, yet the peo

half the price they paid during
that period.

June 30, 1933, the Commonwealth

administration. During that time
it purchased 2.367,043.931 kilowatt
