ELECTRIC TRADEIN
AMERICA EXPANDS
Western Company Reports Big
Increase In Volume OF Un-
i. filled Orders.

The continuing activity and. pros
perity Of tine electrical industry 10
evidenced by the volume of business
reported by the Western Electric
Company. whose sales are running
at a higher rate than at any other
pc r,od In the compsny's history. For
eight months of the current year its
domestic billings showed q total vol
ume OF SIls.So0. 900. Indicating domes-
tic sales for the year of approximate
ly Sls0.OO0.000. This does not include
it's export business from America nor
sales Of its foreign affiliated COM
panies. The export and foreign busi-
meas will probably reach a volume of
Sss, 900. 900. bringing the total busi-
ness up to more thm t126. 00o. 900 for
the year.
The domestic sAies will exceed the
1919 business by over $50. oOo. 900. and
are greatly In excess of the company 8
iargeyt previous year-lsi7-when
domestic billings amounted to &I4s.-
900. 900.
u. >. WAS HEAVY BUYER.
This Is especially worthy of note
when II IL considered that in 1917
the sales were materially affected. by
the heavy buying OF the United States
Government. while in the present
year the business Is In all lines OF
the compaRy's activities and In all
sections Of the. country. This Is true
not only with respect to telephone APP
parAtue. but In especially marked In
such labor -saving devices as wash
ing machines. sewing machines,
vacuum cleaners. and also in farm
Ipower and light plants.
That the enlareins demand Is not
of a. temporary character II indicated
by the recent increase of unified or
dsrs on the company's books from

81 go niLEs or wiaE.
There are. all told. T.24S central
stations In the United States. These
generated ss.oos. 100000 kilowstt
hours OF energy during 1919 and EN-
ployed more than 100000 men. More
than 5000 900 homes and 100000
business places were served, with
electric light and power. This cur
rent was carried over lines which
aggregate in length $1,000 miles.
In the United States there remains
some I4.0o0.0O0 homes not yet wired
for electricity. Al the cate or five TO
home this means that some 10000
900 Americans are deprived OF the
economy and the comforts which
electricity brings into the home. If
these 10000 900 understood the boon
OF electric household servants, cleo
trio light and electric power., we won
der how long they would be con-
tented to be without such service.
CAPITAL NEEDED.
In forty-nye OF the forty-eight
States OF. the Union there Are'reguis-
tory commissions which control not
only the service, but the rates at which
the electric power and light companies
do business. TRese commissions do
what they think the public wants
them to do. When the public knows
nothing or little concerning the bene-
fts OF electric services, naturally the
public Is not likely to strongly main
tain the right of the electric utilities
to a living wage. II seems. therefore,
to be the duty OF these companies
strongly to inform the public of the
"Do IL Electrically" doctrine.
Indeed, the swift pace Of electrical
development In practically every field
OF activity in the world cannot be
halted. Wherever electricity has had
to undertake the hardships to which
an opportunity to serve mankind or
human beings bept their backs, cleo
tricity has eliminated drudgery or
has reduced II. 1t has found no task
too heavy and none to which II has
not proved equal. But 1t must have
room to develop, IL electrical progress
is to continue. Capital is needed to
extend service lines into these 10000
900 unwired homes and to enable the
great generating stations TO adapt
themselves to economies which will
lessen the cost of producing the energy
which turns the wheels of the nation.

RAW MATERIALS DIsSICULTr.
The eompAny's officials state that
the sales would have been much
larger had Il not been for difficulties
experienced In the supply of raw ma
torisls. delays In transportation and
shortage OF labor. The effect OF this
on the company's business can be
more readily appreciated when IL is
co opsidered that its purchases OF
metals and other raw PRODUCTS fon
manufacturing purposes call for the
use OF 100000 900 pounds OF lead a
