WHOSE ShVM&S ARE IN
>0UR ELECTRIC QOtmW?
AWES
Look at the stockholder
list at the right. It's a cross-
scction of America. Your
local electric company could
show a similar list — with
some of your neighbors on it.
Besides these thousands
of direct investors, there are
millions more whose interest
is indirect but no less real.
Banks and insurance com-
panies put much of their
money—your money—into
clectric securities. That gives
almost every American a
stake in the industry.
In a very real sense, the
electric companies represent
the savings of the same
people they serve. These
people have entrusted their
savings to business manage-
ment under public regula-
tion— practical business
management that has given
the average American home
twice as much electricity for
its money in the last 10 to 15
years — and is producing
seven-eighths of the nation's
vast supply of power.
