NEW HORIZONS
... in the a^e of electrical living
This year the electric industry is celebrating
Light’s Diamond Jubilee — the 75th anni-
versary of Edison’s first practical electric
light. That invention launched the age of
electrical living which means less work and
more comfort, convenience and enjoyment
for everybody.
Edison’s light changed the world. It brought
electricity into millions of homes, farms,
stores, offices and industries. It made elec-
tric power available for countless tasks in
addition to lighting.
In the short span of 75 years, electricity
has become an indispensable part of every-
day life. Dependable, low-cost electric
service multiplies the benefits of human
endeavor and makes life easier, healthier
and happier.
•
Many miracles ol modern living are made
possible by electricity, yet the electrical age
is still in its infancy. Greater things are
ahead. A survey just completed indicates
that America’s use of electricity will triple
in ihe next 25 years, which means that you
and your neighbors will have more and
belter electrical servants working for you.
And as science develops new ways for elec-
tricity to benefit mankind, Central Power
and Light Company continues to build and
plan ahead — anticipating future needs
and making sure that an ample supply of
electric power will be available today and
tomorrow. _
