Every year Americans live better because electricity costs so little * A v , ' 'S' . * s ; ' . • V - < y- * ^ ' * . s • *• , / ., / ' /'*/' «■ % % These 30 everyday General Electric appliances lined up on the front lawn dramatize the impact of low-cost electricity on American life. Per capita use of electricity in U.S. is 2 times Britain’s, 5 times Russia’s, 167 times India’s. An average U. S. family uses enough power each day to equal the energy output of 35 hard-working men Nowhere on earth has electricity been put to work more widely than in the United States, and its price been kept so low. We’ve come a long way since Thomas Edison invented the first home use of electricity — an elec tric light — just 75 years ago. There are three rea sons for this progress. First, America’s electric utilities have invested in facilities (S18 billion in the last ten years!). And the electrical industry has steadily increased the efficiency of power equipment. Turbine-generators made by General Electric, for example, produce 10 times more electricity per pound of coal than • Edison’s original generators. Second, appliances have been constantly im proved and are mass-produced to bring their price within reach of everyone. The first 60-watt lamps cost about $1.00 and gave a light equal to 7 candles; a G-E 60-watt lamp today gives a light equal to 67 candles, and costs only 19 cents. The third reason for progress is our free econ omy, which has allowed industry to grow, create jobs and produce effectively for everyone’s benefit. As we see it, it adds up to a good example of progress in the American way. Meanwhile, we’re hard at work to make the future even better. • • • For more information, send for 36-page illustrated booklet, “Power Maker for America”—the story of how electricity is made.
