Rain, gloom toys with the city, but at the state fairground there an antithesis in spirit and almost in climate. • Sunny incandescence shine down in the auto show building on the slick sheen of well-polished motor cars. Brisk salesmen step up to visitors, ‘‘May I show you this sedan: Get in. Try the seats, the clutch. It rides as easy as it feels.” He’s proud of what he’s showing ahd he has a right to be. For this year's show blends the lines of elegance with practicality. Nash dealers were among the visitors at the show today and Monday. Freak cars, odd "doo-dads,” are not on exhibit this year. This alone enhances the value of staunchness in the autos exhibited. The show was lauded as “one of the finest in the country” today by

Electricity Costs Only 8 Cents a Day For Average Family 1 Electricity is one of the cheapest things Indians residents buy. It is comparable in cost only with the gov-’ eminent two-cent postage stamp. The average monthly bill for electric service furnished residential customers was only $2.46 in communities served by subsidiary operating companies of the Midland United Company in the twelve months’period ended September 30,1930. Your own bill may have been a little higher or a little lower depending upon the extent to which you use electric service in your home—but $2.46 was the average monthly * hill paid by residential customers during that period. That means an expenditure of only cents per day per family; less than 2 cents a day for each member of the average’family. What other service can he purchased at a cost of 8 cents a „ day which will bring the same comfort and convenience into the home as electric service? Electric service has lightened the burden of housekeeping; it has made life more pleasant and simplified and made easier many tasks. It is the modern servant in the home. And the cost of this service today is less than ever before. Substantial and continuous voluntary reductions in the rates charged for electrical service have been made by utility companies in the group controlled by the Midland United Company. It is their policy to furnish the best possible service at the lowest possible rates. As pointed out in previous advertisements in this series, electric power and light customers of subsidiaries of the Midland United Company have benefited to the extent of more than $5,000,000 a year as a result of reductions and revisions of electric rates. These rate changes have enabled them to either make a direct saving in money or to use electricity for more purposes, thus saving time and labor. The low cost of a fraction over 8 cents a day which residential customers of Midland United subsidiaries pay for electric service in their homes is the result of continual rate reductions and improved service. These low rates are made possible by the/state-wide system of electric transmission lines which subsidiaries have built bringing adequate and reliable service to the entire territory served by them at reduced cost. Thu is the seventh of a series of advertisements discussing the economics of the public utility business and reviewing how the public is benefited by holding company control.
