The Romance of Figures
Statistics generally are the most uninteresting facts that ever
soil white paper. But occasionally a group of figures are as
full of romance as a fairy tale, painting a word picture more
vivid than the most impassioned language. Such is the story
told by the following statistics showing the stupendous size
and importance of the electrical industry:
Seventy per cent of the people of this country use electricity in some
form every day of their lives.
Five per cent of the population 5,000,000 persons derive their
living, directly or indirectly, from the electrical industry.
Nearly $8,000,000,000 is invested in electrical industry, including
railways, telephone and telegraph.
More than $2,000,000,000 is invested in privately owned central
station electric light and power plants.
The business of the entire electrical industry totals $6,369,041
a day.
One thousand and sevnty-fwc per cent more electric light now can
beobtained for 1 0 cents than for a like sum 20 years ago.
One hundred and ten million incandescent lamps arc sold every year.
The average wattage in 1907 was 53; in 1914, with higher candle
power, it was only 48, and in 19 16, 47.36. This shows more light
is given with consumption of less energy.
There are 20,500,000 homes in the United States, of which 5,500,
000, or 27.2 per cent, arc lighted by electricity.
Truly the electrical industry is the backbone of the nation.
