Public utility companies are a-
mong the largest and most con-
sistent of newspaper advertisers.
Such companies appear to have
no direct local competition. Yet,
the gas companies and power
companies can not be accused
of wasting money on advertising.
Expenditures of no business are
more thoroughly questioned or
more carefully audited than those
of a public utility company. As
with any business, higher net
profit is the aim of public utility
advertising.
Consider the use of advertising
by electric power companies:
Their advertising has greatly in-
creased the use of electricity by
encouraging the use of air-con-
ditioning, electric laundry dryers,
modernized home lighting, and
