Now for a real
Electrical
Christmas
Your New Electric Rates are the
Lowest ever offered in Qeorgia
Electric rates have again been reduced. Now they
are so low that every home in the communities we
serve can afford to have electricity. And all of our
customers now have a new and better opportunity
to make their homes truly modem homes with the
aid of time-saving and labor-saving electric devices.
From thc smallest :onsumcr to the largest —
everyone has a share in the $660,000 annual reduc
tion. All are benefited, none excepted.
The “service charge” theory of rate-making has
been wholly discarded. The customei who paid a
dollar a month and got NO kilowatt hours from
1929 to 1933, and only five kilowatt hours during
the past several months, now receives FIFTEEN
kilowatt hours for his dollar.
A dollar’s worth of electric service now is a big
ger dollar’s worth than it was even as far back as
1912—and it is a much better service, too.
So, the small consumer has a lower rate today
than ever before. And this benefit has been given
him without any sacrifice on the part of larger con-
On the contrary, they also have benefited.
•In the near future toe will send our customers
an explanation of the new Inducement Rate,
showing the amount of increased use that must
be made before the even lower rate is available
and telling of its many advantages.
All customers, large and small, get an i:
reduction in their electric rates. And all, large and
small, can get a FURTHER reduction by increasing
their use of electric service.
For, in addition to the new low rate, thc regular
rate, there is offered a special INDUCEMENT
RATE, even lower than the other. And you can
move yourself over into this even lower rate any
time you get ready, simply by increasing the amount
of electricity you use in your home.*
Briefly, the Inducement Rate, a new and different
kind of rate from any ever before offered you, is de
signed to make it easy for you to have an electric
refrigerator, an electric range, an electric water
heater, improved lighting, and the many other ad
vantages and conveniences of the fully-electrified
home.
When you learn the details of this new rate, you
will be surprised how little it will cost you to have
an electric range or some other appliance you have
been wanting and thought you couldn't afford.
Many a home will be brighter and mote comfort-
able this Christmas because of this new rate. It looks
like a seal Electrical Christmas.
