IT’S NO CIRCUS!
They may look like lour daring
young men on the flying trapeze.
But they’re really electric linemen,
working many feet in the air, with
no net underneath.
It’s tough enough up there on a
sunny summer day. It’s much worse
on a wet, black night—or when
the wind is whistling through the
wires. But the job must be done.
It’s part of giving you good elec-
tric service.
Fortunately, there are men who
have the courage and skill to do it.
These folks know what to do be-
cause they’ve been at those jobs a
long time. Men and women grow
up in the electric light and power
business. It takes years to become
a lineman. Power plant engineer—
load dispatcher—service man—
almost every job is specialized and
technical.
The value of this experience—
and of sound business management
—has been dramatically proved by
war. In spite of shortages of many
essentials, there is no shortage of
electricity—and, it is still sold at
pre-uar prices! r
