EVERY DAY,
EVERY MONTH,
We at West Texas Utilities Company speak to you
. of newness, of modernity, of living better electrically.
That is our pleasure. All those things are the rewards
of the 20th Century.
But none of us wants modern terms to obscure from
us our nation’s oldest and most cherished values
of self-reliance, individual initiative and universal
opportunity.
So let’s pause together now with the Christmas hope
that these “old-fashioned” values, these seasonal and
true values, will light our paths in all the modern
years to come.
