Answer:
ELECTRICITY

Look at the chart above. The upper line
represents living costs as far back as
including rent. food, clothing.
household furnishings. etc. Notice the
mountain peak during the first World
War. and the rising slope during the
present war These upward curves mean
money out OF your pocket. You pay
more and more for the things you buy.
Now look at the bottom line Of the
chart-the one headed steadily down
ward. That is the average price OF
your residential electricity since 1914.
Thanks 10 rate reductions and increased
use. your average price OF electricity is
LESS today than before the war. II is
lower in price than even during the
depression in 1882. And il is only hall
the price you paid during the last war.
Electricity is cheap.

Douglas Macarthur became President Quezons mil
