Nobody glues me a raise every time the cost of living goes up. Why should they be any better? I m fed up! There’s no doubt that the cost of living is going up, and higher electric rates aren’t making things any better. If you're like most people, your electric rate has gone up about 50 percent in the past four years But there’s a good reason why we have to increase rates when our cost of business goes up. If we made socks instead of electricity, we could cut back on production until things got better. Or go out of business altogether. But we can't stop making electricity. Even if the cost doubled or even tripled. Baloney! •% There has to b£ enough power to keep the lights on and the wheels turning. For schools, industries, homes. What we charge for electricity is based on what it costs us to make the power and deliver it to you. And those costs are going higher every day. Sure, we could make less money and still stay in business. Just as you have to make ends meet while the cost o{living is going up. But here's the problem. If we don't make a reasonable profit, nobody will lend us the billions of dollars to build new plants to meet the area’s growing demand for electricity. And. unless these plants are built on schedule, someday soon we could run out. We don’t expect you to like the idea of having to pay more for something you can’t do without. But we want you to know why there’s no other way. For more information on the rising cost of electricity, ask for a free copy of Rate Facts at your local Duke Power office. Or write to Duke Power, Public Relations, PO. Box 2178, Charlotte. N.C. 28242 DUKE POWC* Your friendly, neighborhood power company
