for Pipes Orie'of the reasons that the cost of electricity to you has gone down within ten years, while everything else has gone up, is the work of the pipe men. . All day long a man at the power station goes about testing steam pipe coverings, and putting on new coverings. This keeps the heat and energy of the steam from leaking out. Another man spends all his time testing pipe joints, repairing pipes instantly when a weakness shows. This means that a little treuble can never grow into a big trouble—that no accident could make us long slow down the power plant and give you less current than you needed. : - “Electricity, as much as needed, -~ whenever needed, at the least cost to, consumer,” is our motto. b .‘,. = " .. . % Indiana & Mich- ~ igan Electric Co.
