Qets a Welcome from Mrs. Smith
Mrs. Smith is a customer who has been using very little electricity
in her home. In fact, she rarely has paid more than the ^I-a-month
minimum charge. Let’s listen in on her conversation with a rep
resentative of the power company and see just exactly what the
new rates will do for her.
B MRS. SMITH — ‘Tm not much inter
ested in electric rates. We use so little
electricity in our home, just a few lights.
So our bill seldom runs over the dollar
minimum.”
■ REPRESENTATIVE— “WouIdn’t you
be interested to know that the new rates
give you THREE TIMES as much elec
tricity for your dollar as you’ve been
getting? From now on, you get fifteen
kilowatt hours, instead of five, for your,
dollar a month. That’s ten more kilowatt
hours every month absolutely FREE!”
H MRS. SMITH— “I’m glad to hear that.
Now, tell me what I can do with ten
kilowatt hours.”
■ REPRESENTATIVE — “For one
thing, you could add quite a lot of light
ing. You can have three times as much
light without increasing your bill.”
e MRS. SMITH — “Mr. Smith would like
that. But could I use an electric iron?”
n REPRESENTATIVE— “Yes. Your ten
free kilowatt hours will operate an elec
tric iron for 18 hours, or a waffle iron
for 16 hours, or a vacuum cleaner for
43 hours.” '
For further information, call at
our nearest store —or ’phone, and
a representative will call at your
home. Or, if you prefer, mail the
coupon at the right.
Next week, in this paper, Ad
vertisement No. 2 will show how
the new rates benefit a customer
whose monthly bill is usually in
the neighborhood of $2.50.
WATCH FOR IT.
Georgia Power Company
Remember, too, that whenever Mrs. Smith gets ready to
add an electric range or refrigerator, she can buy the extra
electricity to operate it at REAL BARGAIN PRICES.

■ MRS. SMITH— “CouId I do all of that
with my free electricity, without in
creasing my bill ?”
■ REPRESENTATIVE— “I’m sorry,
Mrs. Smith, if I didn’t make myself clear
on that point. Ten kilowatt hours would
not do ALL of those things. It would do
any ONE of them. Os course you prob
ably wouldn’t want to use your waffle
iron 16 hours a month, so you can di
vide up your free electricity among dif
ferent appliances. I would like to make
it clear also that these figures as to the
number of hours each appliance can be
operated are the AVERAGE figures.
They might vary somewhat, up or down,
but I believe you will find them approxi
mately correct.”
■ MRS. SMITH — “I understand it now.
You mean that I can now go right ahead
and use three times as much electricity
as I have been using without increasing
my bill above my dollar a month pay
ment.”
■ REPRESENTATIVE — “Yes, Mrs.
Smith, that’s exactly it—you can begin
today.”
