Reduced Rates For Electricity Now in Effect The more extensive the use of Edison Service, the more cheaply it becomes possible to produce and sell electricity. As with any commodity, its produc- tion in greater wholesale quantity effects economies that tend to lessen the cost per unit. It is the policy of this Company to reduce its rates from time to time as such economies allow. In accordance with this policy TheRates forEdisonService Were Reduced July 1 This rate reduction is due directly to the in- creased use of Edison Service by older customers and the constant acquisition of new ones. The rates for electricity in New York are less than in any other of the world’s large cities. An electric fan means comfort in the hottest weather. Prove this for yourself at our nearest office, Its cost is very moderate.
