THOMAS ALVA EDS SON
February 11, 75.37
October 18, 7937
rHEN Thomas A. Edison perfected the in-
candescent lamp and built the first practi-
cal central station electric system, he set the
stage for an era of progress and enlightenment
that has raised living standards everywhere. Of
all the inventions that sprang from his fertile
brain, none had such a profound and far-reach-
ing effect as these two developments in the then
relatively unknown field of electricity.
Without electric light and distributed electric
power, women would still be slaves to drudgery,
men would labor longer to produce less, and
the output of farms and industry, which is the
real wealth of the world, would be but a fraction
of what it is today.
So, on this 99th anniversary of Edison's birth, we
again pay tribute to the man, who, perhaps more
than any other, helped make the world a better
place in which to live. Myriad lights turning night
into day and the hum of motors in busy factories
are lasting monuments to his genius.
