AS GENERAL ELECTRIC SEES IT...
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.
