Eleetrie Service is cheap in flesi Texas
__iiWill Your Money
Buy SEVERAL TIMES
As Much TODAY
As in 1928?
In spite of the big reduction in electric rates in
recent years, many folks say their bills have not
been reduced. In many homes that is true because
today people are using bigger lamp bulbs, they have
radios, refrigerators, washing machines, and in
0(!0many cases ranges and water heaters they didn't
used to have. Their bills are about what they've
always been, but today they get from twice to three
or four times as much Electric Service for their
money. For example, in 1928, $5 bought about 20
kilowatt-hours of residential service but today it
b buys 100 or more kilowatt-hours, or five times as
00 much for your money.
