will, if you wish it —show you how to use each ap

anything wrong with any of your equipment, she
will help you get it repaired. Probably her moot Keenly
felt responsibility of all is to help you get the most
satisfactory use from your electrical appliances most
economically, with the least waste, at the very lowest
cost. If you have complaints, she will adjust them.
She will show how you, individually, may best use
any of the Free Electricity available to you under
1934’s New Low Electric Rates. To these duties,
this college-trained home economist who now takes
up her work as a useful citizen of your community
adds something else: an active willingness to be ci
genuine assistance to home-makers who want, or
need, her help, whether that help has to do with
electric service or not. She has at her finger-tips any
number of new recipes, new menus, new ideas in
household management.
Her duties, the accomplishments she hopes for,
are important. But she stands for something even
more important. She represents another forward

Through successive reductions, since 1927, the
price of electric service to homes on this Company s
lines has been reduced 45 per cent —making it now
one of the nation’s lowest —the lowest in Georgia s
history—so that even the most modest home may
use it in abundance.... No matter how small the
town in which you live, no matter if you live on a
farm, you get the benefit of the same low rates as the

customer in the largest c? Twenty-four hour
electric service has been extended by the Company
to 134 towns that formerly had no service at all, 39
that had only part-time service, 210 towns that had
no public water service, 248 towns that had no sew
erage systems. And — throughout these recent years,
the° service itself has been so constantly improved
that even the slightest interruptions rarely mar its
assuring dependability.
These are just a few items in a program of con
stant improvement which this Company has carried
forward steadily. Because of them, Georgia people
are now USING their electric service. They are
translating its low-priced versatility into comfort,
convenience, new hours of useful leisure, new youth
for the women who make Georgia homes. Electricity
in the home has become a powerful social force,
adding to the public welfare.
Now, with two Home Service Representatives
adding their usefulness where but one had labored
before, another more human, more intimate service
is at your command. The Home Service Division of
the Company has been more than doubled in size,
and now is the largest of any electric company in
America. Regardless of where you may live, there is
a Home Service Representative assigned to your
neighborhood, if you are a customer of the Georgia
Power Company.
Use this service. It costs you nothing; you assume
no obligation, no matter how fully or how often you
use it. The Home Service Representative in your
community is there to help, not to interfere, not to
sell you anything. Call on her, get to know her, she
is permanently one of you and —yours to command.
We believe you will like her and benefit by her
work.
