You, Mr. and Mrs. Home Owner, get the benefit of this reduction. You will get further berefits if the putt not wrecked by your enemies. In ition to this, all users of light furnished by Furth’s company have re- ceived a benefit since the Gill-Furth control was broken. Furth’s company last August was forced to reduce its rates in order to compete with your plant. Here is a saving conservatively estimated at $200,000 a year. Two hundred thousand dollars saved to the light users. Under the Gill-Furth management this jamount would have gone to the stockholders of Furth’s concern. Even though you overlook the vice syndicate, even though you overlook the grafting off the unfortunate women, even though you overlook or shut your eyes to every other feature and = of Gill:sm, isn’t there enough in this story of Gill’s ‘4 betrayal of your interest, of Gill’s selling out to Furth, to damn Gill and Gillism at q the polls next Tuesday? . of the light plant rapidly decreased, notwithstand- ¢ ce Ve CNT 7 ‘It’s a “Sopto : Gillites Trying 200 COTTERILL a a Be ring ste @ ae Sore.
