DAY IS A BETTER DAY!
y^HEAP ELECTRICITY has
made Mother’s Day a better day...
for mothers as well as their families. Throughout the years the Texas
Power & Light Company has reduced rates for electric service again and again,
making it possible for mothers to use more time-saving and drudgery-eliminating
electric appliances. Mother appreciates the economy and convenience of TP&L's
Cheap Electricity. It helps her keep her budget in balance ... and gives her
more time to enjoy the companionship of her family and friends.
GIFTS
Remember "Mother’s Day"... give Mother an electrical
gift which will make every day a belter day for her. There
is a wide selection of electrical gifts, .. appliances that she
will cherish through the years.

WHEN
Your Boy Grows Up!
Al
v LL mothers and fathers want their
children to have worthwhile employment
when they grow up.
The Texas oil business is manned by
Texans ... the Texas boys and girls of
yesterday. 225,000 of them cam good
livings for themselves and thair families
yearly payroll of (271,000,000.
Oil pays good wages . . . maintains
reasonable working hours ... and offers
opportunity for promotion.
■ Old age retirement and unhampered de-
velopment of the oil business will pro-
vide many new jobs each year for our
young Texas workers.
But the growing tax burden is a serious
factor in wages and employment, since
the Texas oil industry now pays taxes
equal to 36 per cent of its labor payrolls.
Unwise lews and excessive taxes can
retard and stop the growth of this in-
dustry which means so much to the
future employment of our boys and girls.
