Listen in while a power company repre sentative explains the situation to her. ■ MRS. JONES— “I’d like to ask some questions about the new electric rates. I’m using only lights and small appli ances now, and my bill is usually about $2.50 a month. How much of a reduction do I get?” ■ REPRESENTATIVE — “Your reduc tion amounts to approximately 25 per cent, for the new rate reduces a $2.50 monthly bill to $1.87. But that isn’t all you get. There is something more, for in any month when you use more elec tricity than you used in the same month of 1933, you can get four kilowatt hours thrown in FREE at that same lower price of $1.87. In other words, you pay 25 per cent LESS and get about 14 per cent MORE electricity.” a MRS. JONES—“MORE ELECTRIC ITY FOR LESS MONEY! That is a sav ing. Now tell me how much it would in crease my electric bill if I should get an electric range. I’ve been wanting one for a long time.” o REPRESENTATIVE —“I can only estimate it, of course, but figuring on the basis of the average amount of cur rent used by electric ranges in homes which already have them, I would esti mate, Mrs. Jones, that your electric bill would be about $2.65 a month higher than it has been in the past if you put in an electric range.” ■ MRS. JONES — “That’s considerably less than I thought it would be. I Be Sure to Qet Your FREE ELECTRICITY!

You would need about FIVE AND ONE HALF TIMES as much electricity as you have been using—but your monthly bill would be only slightly more than TWICE as much as it has been. That would maxe the price of the extra elec tricity for your range figure out only about two cents a kilowatt hour, whereas you have been paying about eight cents a kilowatt hour in the past.” " MRS. JONES — “From EIGHT cents down to TWO cents? That certainly brings down the price on the extra elec tricity.” ■ REPRESENTATIVE— “Y-, it doos —and that’s just the idea of the new rates. Any extra electricity you buy comes to you at real BARG AJ N PRICES. The more you use, the cheaper it gets.” H MRS. JONES— “I’m certainly glad to know that something is getting cheaper these days. It seems to me that now is a mighty good time to talk to Mr. Jones about my new electric range. It looks as if I can afford it at last.”
