POWER UTILIZATION. Building machines,
lamps, and appliances that put electricity to work
more efficiently in factories and homes is one of
our most important jobs. The United States has
more of these electrical helpers than any other
nation. In 1912, the average home used twice as
much electricity as in 1880, and in those II years
the average price per klowatt hour decreased 40%.
