HOW'LL you have YOUR EGGS?

HOW'LL YOU have YOUR EGGS?
This weather-beaten trouble-shooter isn't worry
ing about your EGGS or whether you want EN-
soft boiled, fried, or scrambled.
But he is worrying about keeping your electric
service flowing along as usual. If that means eggs
for your breakfast, okay then, that's why he's up
on storm-lashed power pole
And, he'll stay there till he gets your line
repared-in spite of hot wires suffering around
him. In spite of rain. lightning thunder..
and high wind howling 'Watch out fella, we're
gonna hit it again!
You don't have to send him check for his
trouble. You won't pay any more on your electric
bill.-to cover his hard, wet work and the mate
rails he uses. Chances are you'll never even know
line went out.
This kind of service is routine stuff for the
trouble shooter and the electric company he works
for. Storms the repairs and cost are all pre-
pared for and handled in busnesslike way. But
it isn't an easy job Keeping your electric service
dependable and cheap is the result of careful
planning and sound business management.
