Here’s why: Life insurance not only pro-
vides for the partner in a marriage when
death occurs, it can also provide for re-
tirement, even for the education of your
children. And, the younger you are when
you take out this coverage, the less it will
coot you. That’s why now is the time to
think of life insurance. *

Sounds strange, doesn’t it? No one ever thinks
about the role electricity plays in making most of our
activities possible. But without it, our lives would
come to a virtual standstill.
At Southwestern Electric Power Company, we don’t
expect you to think of electricity directly each time you
turn on the T.V. or cook dinner or wash clothes.
But maybe, every once in a while, you’ll think of what
it takes to make your life so comfortable.
We’ve aimed our sights in but one direction, year after
year—to meet your needs. You may not always think of us,
but we re always thinking of you. Because electricity’
is such a versatile energy source, if will play an
increasingly important role in all of our lives.
So, when you think about the comforts and necessities
of your life, think about SWEPCO. We re dedicated
to providing you with a reliable supply Of electricity.
We hope you’ll use it-wisely.' Y . y . '
