Him HOW TO FIGURE WHAT IT COST YOU.
When you look at your average cost per
day for electricity and then think about
all the things electricity does for you, it’s
easy to see that it’s a real good value.
On your monthly electric bill, look at
the date your meter was last read (Pres.
KWH Read. DATE) and then the date it
was previously read (Prev. KWH Read.
DATE). Count the number of days
between the two dates. Divide that
number into the amount shown under
TOTAL CURRENT MO. BILL.
The result is your average cost per
day for all the conveniences, comforts'
and pleasures that electricity makes
possible in your home.
Electricity ... a real good value and
one of today’s best energy values.
