“Going total-electric
simplified our whole operation.”
Ray Wi inht. left, with Geortriti Power's
Hsu-old DiiiihH. on the doorste|i of one
of Kny WiiKht Enteiprises' new totiil
electric homes in Columbus, Georttin.
And what an operation it is. Ray Wright Enterprises has
built over 1500 homes, developed more than 2,000 lots,
owns and operates a 137-unit luxury apartment complex
and is finishing “the nicest mobile home park in Georgia.”
Wright didn’t always build total-electric housing. But
once he did, he was sold on the economic advantages of
total-electric construction.
“For instance: In our apartments, we pay the utilities
from one bill instead of several. We supply furnish
ings, replacing them less often because total-electric living
is clean. Our building costs are lightened by Georgia
Power's wiring plan and by space-saving electric appli
ances. Moreover, the underground wiring in the mobile
home park makes our lot spaces more attractive.”
Many reasons account for Wright’s success. Know
how, maintenance, good locations. He credits the total
electric concept, too. And with a multi-million dollar
business behind him, that credit’s good.

son lever attending American
soldiers during the Revolu
tionary War before he was 10.
His two brothers both died in
the service of their country
so that at 14 he was with-
out any family. One thing he
did have, however, was some
good advice which his mother
sent him in a letter-the very
last letter she was ever to
write him. Advice that we
can very well use today, as
well as past on to our own
youngsters. It read:

Dear Andrew:
If 1 should not see you
again I wish you to remember
and treasure up some things 1
have already said to you; in
this world you will have to
make your own way. To do
that you must have friends.
You can make friends by be
ing honest, and you can
keep them by being steadfast.
You must keep in mind that
friends worth having will in
the long run expect us much
from you as they give to you.
To forget an obligation or
be ungrateful for a kindness
is a base crime not merely
a fault or a sin but an actual
crime. Men guilty of it sooner
or later must suffer the penal
ty.
In personal conduct always
be polite, but never obsequi
ous. No one will respect you
more than you esteem yourself.
Avoid quarrels as long as jdu
can without yielding to impo
sition. But sustain your man
hood always ....
Never wound the feelings
of others. If you have to vin
dicate your feelings or defend
your honor, do it calmly. If
angry at first, wait till your
wrath cools before you pro
ceed.
Love, Mother
The Andrew in this letter
grew up to be one of America’s
most famous Andrews - -
Andrew Jackson, the seventh
President of the United
States.
