Like you,
we pay more
for our money
todayi
At Sesco we borrow money, too. We borrow it
for construction of new plants, improvement of
existing facilities and to buy the sophisticated
equipment we need to serve our growing
number of customers. And just as climbing
interest rates have forced you to pay more for
the money you borrow, they have increased
our costs of providing electric service. Today,
keeping ahead of your demands for electricity
costs more money than ever before. But at
Southwestern Electric Service Company we
won’t sacrifice the quality of your service. We’re
dedicated to providing the reliable Sesco service
you’ve come to expect over the years.
