The Purpose
S to make people happier to cause them to
have more to help
hardships of life.
Electricity, in the short span of thirty-five years,
has brought undreamed-of comfort, safety and
convenience to the world, and has carried these elements of well
being into cottages and palaces at precisely the same proportion'
ate cost.
Since the hour Ediscn saw his carbon filament
glow the story of Electrical Industry is a pro
cession of impressive improvements, each moving toward the
wider and more valuable use of this Force by the people.
The whole history of Electrical Industry has
been a successful struggle not only to do more
and to do it better, but to render greater service per dollar of
cost and per dollar of price.
In this spirit we wish you a
Happy and Prosperous New Year
