Morgan notified the police that he
would pay reward of $4,000 for the
recovery OF the stolen articles. many
Of which were priceless to him for

from $500 to $500 per acre in buy

An Explanation

You may think it absurd for an electric
company to advise patrons how to econ
omize in the consumption Of electric
current.
We do it because satisfied customer
is the only good customer.
We do it because we know that tungsten
lighting with modern shades and fixtures
will give you all the light you want
without increasing the bills.
The tungsten lamp costs more than the
old style carbon incandescent, but it rem
ders nearly three times as much light
with the same consumption of electric
Current
Let our experts help you to get your
moneys worth out Of the electric current
you buy.

Nothing was given out by Gov. Brewer
