Like * gleaming thread woven into the pattern of
Texas history is the pioneering spirit of the first trail blazers.
, if Homesteaders... the stage coach ... the firsf Texas cattlemen . . ,
carrying their hopes and dreams on to pew frontiers!
: This same pioneering spirit was evidenced by the group of men who, back ip
19U, built the state’s first high-voltage electric power transmission line, bringing with it g
new era pf development for farm, business and industry. This high-voltage transmission line was the for*,
runner of the network pf power lines pf Texas Power & )-ight Company destined to cover a 92-county
*rea in North, Central and East Texas. Through the years, this company has continued to pioneer ... ip
rural electrification, in agricultural development and in industrial development.
In the beginning, Texas Power & |Ljgbt Company served f J cities and towns. Today, 466 pities, towns, and
communities in the richest and most populous section pf the state are joined together by TP&L’s high-
voltage transmission lines. More than 23 5,000 Texans, qf whom 68,000 live on farms and in rural areas,
enjoy more comfortable, prosperous living through TP&L’s low-cost, dependable clectpic service.
Pecause of this widespread distribution of electric power, manufacturing plants may locate in the section best
suited to their industrial needs... and thus take advantage of the wide diversity'of Texas’ raw material;
and natural resources, labor, transportation facilities and the many other advantages found in the state-
Contributing more fo a higher standard of living and the furtherance of community prosperity than any
pther single factor.. . TP&L electric service is vital to the growth and development of the area it serves.
With the foresight and vision of careful business management, this company is constantly planning and
preparing for the future needs of tfie tarms, homes, businesses and industries that are making Texas the
great state jt is today!
