offer steady and inexpensive power the indus
try will at once go elsewhere.
If you live on Central Maine Power Com

industries If they want one horsepower or
a thousand, it is instantly at their disposal
at an attractive price.
All because the people of Maine have stood
back of Central Maine Power Company in
developing this interconnected system of over
10000 horsepoWer-power which generated
at any one of its q stations can be used any
where in the 148 cities, towns and villages
served by this Company.

more pay rolls earned and spent-if you want
towns in place of villages and cities in place
of towns-then put some of your money in

the power needed to bring industries to your
town.
