of the block and there shorted
the ignition switch and drove it
off. It was not missed until he
started for school the next morn

are endeavoring to locate the
guilty parties.
The Suwannee store also re
ceived a visit from marauders
the same night, probally the
same parties trying to fill up the
stolen car with enough food and

one more lock on the door today.

25% Decrease in Electric Rates
Saves More Than
$2,600,000 for Georgia Homes
in 3 Years
PRESENT electric rates to residential customers
•A of the Georgia Power Company have been in ef
fect slightly over three years.
At the end of the third full year under the present
rates, on December 31, more than $2,600,000 had
been saved by residential customers antier what they
would have paid for the same service under the rates
which were discontinued January 1, 1929.
The average price for electric service used by
Georgia homes is now 25 per cent lower than it
was in 1928— the last year under the old rates.
Steadily decreasing as more and more use of the
service is made, the present rates have proved so
attractively low that Georgia homes on the average
now are using 58.8 per cent more a ectricity than in
1928. And for this greatly increased amount of elec
tricity, they are paying on the averaje only 18.8 per
cent more, clearly demonstrating that the new rates
(including the service charge) have been more than
three times as beneficial to our customers as to the
Company.
This low cost enables you to make full use of
modem oom fort-bringing electrical appliances, with
out straining your pocket book. It’s a bargain in which
everyone can share, for—
— more you use, the cheaper it gets!
