If your home, barn or warehouse is in
darkness every night, it's an invitation
to trouble But by flooding your property
with light from a SWEPCO Nightlighter,
you’ll stop a lot of potential problems A
SWEPCO Nightlighter is comparable to a
bright streetlight and covers a large area
with light. The average installation costs
only $3 50 per month which includes
existing SWEPCO pole, maintenance,
electricity and up keep. If a new pole
must be sef, the monthly cost is only
$4.50. Call SWEPCO, Extension 500 for
additional information. Or write to
