The Ideal Power

for turning any wheel is
electricity. Suppose you
have printing office or
anv other plant requiring
large number of individ-
ual machines run by power.
Each machine can have
Its motor. 1t runs only
when the machine runs.
No extra power must be
kept on hand as Is the case
where steam IS used. Each
motor, geared direct to
the machine it runs, is
turned on when you want
it and turned off when you
are through. There is no
waste, yet sufficient power
for all purposes.
The economy Of the
Edison power is the LEAST
of its qualities It's quick
ness, serviceableness, con-
venience, cleanliness, areal
arguments in its favor.
A hundred thousand
wheels are turned success
fully and PrO6tably every
day in New York City by
the Edison service.
