INVESTMENT-- NOT AN EXPENSE Owners of houses should remember that the cosr of electric wiring is not an expense, such as painting, that has to be incurred every few years, but rather a permanent in- vestment that has to be made but once and which greatly improves the property, making it easier to rent, and attracting a better class of tenants. In houses that use electric lighting, ten- ants never scratch matches on the walls; hence the wall paper and decorations last much longer. If you own your own home you should wire it so your family can enjoy electric service. If you are a landlord you should wire your property because it's good business.
