As you know, you and your family are using many more electric -
servants these days, and living better in many ways.
And while your electric bill is probably bigger than it used to be
you're getting more electricity per dollar than ever before. The average
kilowatt-hour cost for Southwestern residential customers is now 2.69
cents compared with 4.63 cents 20 years ago.
When you add up the full value of al) the good living electricity
brings to you, you’ll find it’s just about your family’s biggest bargainl

Ben Johnson of Lone Star
has his name in the news be-
cause of tomatoes. Ben is a
machinist at I.one Star Steel
and he picks his tomatoes
from a greenhouse at his
home rather than buying them
from a grocer.
The story began almost ex-
actly a year ago when he built
the greenhouse because he
didn't care for the tomatoes
he brought home from the
store one day.
Known as a
does things
The greenhouse was a side-
line project that competed
with his civic and church act-
ivities. Recently, he took time
to build a float frame for the
elementary school PTA. After
the float was built, he drove
it in the parade, too.
Johnson is a native of Pitts-
burg and has been a Lone
Star employee for the past
nine years. His two children
art Benny, nine; and Glenda,
seven.
Johnson enjoys his busy
life and is happiest when he
is working on a project. The
projects often stem from un-
usual sources.
Witness the greenhouse. It
started with a yen for a fresh
tomato.
built concrete block walls and
framed the upper portion
with two by fours covered
with builder's plastic. He
built his own stove complete
with solenoid valve and ther-
mostat to control the tempera-
ture. He also installed instru-
ments for humidity control. '
Once the greenhouse was
finished, he began raising to-
mato plants from seed. By
Easter, he had fresh tomatoes.

ileges that are available in other areas of Texas and that modern, confidential bankin*'
