two trips around the
world • • • every day!
YOU KEEP US MOVING to provide the kind
of electric service you want! Our trucks and autos
travel an average of 50,000 miles a day. That’s
equal to twice the distance around the earth. In a
single day our motor vehicles cover as many miles as
the Average motorist does in four or five years.
More than two thirds of our vehicles are trucks,
and; they account for 61 per cent of the miles we
’ travel. We have big tractor-trailers to transport heavy
equipment. Tough little Jeeps help our line patrolmen
on their rounds over rough terrain. We use trucks
to speed linemen, construction, workers, troublemen,
appliance repairmen and many other employes to
their jobs.
Our passenger cars are a familiar sight to you.
They take supervisory personnel, engineers and cus
tomer service men to their appointments.
Yes, you keep us moving to provide you with electric
service of the highest quality and greatest dependa
bility. Yet the cost of your electric service is among
the nation’s lowest.
