A picture of a man
who owns the Electric Companies
Year-old Alexander Maier is one of the newest of the
94 million owners of America's independent electric
light and power companies.
Alexander's father has bought his son seven shares
of stock in their local power company as a first-year
birthday present. This makes young Alexander one
of about 4 million direct owners who hold securities
of the electric companies.
Alexander's grandfather just opened a savings
account in the youngster's name. This makes him one
of more than 90 million Americans who are indirect
owners through their bank savings, insurance pre
miums or pension funds. Banks, insurance companies
and pension fund trustees put much of this money
to work in the securities of electric companies.
Some people would have the federal government
take over all of the power companies. But isn't there
a real danger in a single federal power monopoly—
rather than in 400 independent electric light and power
companies owned by more than 94 million people?
