THE SEATTLE STAR e | I; would be a good household man- ager who could pay more for food, set a better table, and still not increase her table allowance. It is a good business manager who can pay more for labor and raw materials, yet sell the thing he manufactures for less. The management of your electric service company has found a way todo this. Coal, wages, machinery, building materials—all are higher today than they were in 1913. Yet the cost to you of electricity is lower. Paraphrasing the words of Abraham Lin- coln, electricity is “of the people, by the people, for the people.” Few industries are more democratically owned, than the elec- tric service companies. One out of every sixteen customers is a stockholder. Few industries serve as many different customers —13,000,000 homes, 2,500,000 businesses. Few industries operate under the. same public supervision and regulation. Your dollars for food, for clothing, for house-furnishings, for fuel buy you less than they did ten years ago. Your dollars for electricity buy you more. WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC & MANUFACTURING CO.
