YOUR NATION OF LIGHT AND POWER!
40% of all the electricity in the world is used in the U. S., most of it supplied by hundreds of independent power companies?

One of America's wonders to foreign visitors is the abundance of electricity we put to work in our homes, on our farms, in our jobs. 
We use more light and power than the next six nations together -three times as much as the Russians-and we keep on using more all the time. On the average, you use twice as much in your home as you did just ten years ago and pay 16% less for it per kilowatt-hour. 
The independent electric light and power companies that turn out over 3/4 of America's electricity have doubled their supply every ten years, and are building now to double it again in the next ten. And because they and their millions of owners will put up the money for the new plants and lines, you won't be taxed to pay for them. 
These hundreds of companies are ready and able to supply all the low-price electricity people can conceivably need in the future. This means there is no need for the federal government to build any more electric systems that all Americans would be taxed to pay for. 
You can get more facts and figures about this in a new, free booklet. Write for "Who Pays for Government-in-the-Electric- Business?" to Power Companies, Room 1114-A, 1271 Ave. of the Americas, New York 20, New York.
