Show The Biggest Money's Worth Suppose you had thirteen men eady to do your bidding on an instant's notice, tireless men able 10 do almost anything turn cranks, pull ropes, drill holes, jump water, saw wood, operate oewing machines, milkers, fans, light your home, cook your food and, if you wished, carry your voice around the world. Best of all, the total wage you would have to pay these men for an hour's work is less than the 3ost of a shoe shine, or the price of admission to your neighborhood movie theatre. This sounds like a glamorous impossibility from the tales of Scheherazade, but it is a statement state-ment of fact from the New Jersey Jer-sey Public Utility Information Committee. You can have these men not in the flesh, of course, but their labor. You call it a kil-jwatt kil-jwatt hour, and you secure it by pushing a button or closing a iwitch. It is always ready to act, and it never sleeps or gets ill or I falls down on the job. It is as ef-' ficient at the end of the day as at the beginning. And it doesn't want vacations. This little illustration symbolizes symbol-izes the electric age, A kilowatt hour of electric energy costs a few pennies and, as has been said, .t is equivalent to the combined offorts of thirteen huskies for an hour. It's the biggest money's worth on the market. |
