STORE, INC.—IN WELDON "A Trial Is AU W* Ask" On rural electric lines Each New Home Means New Jobs What makes it possible to build and enjoy a modern home miles from town? It’s electric power! Can you imagine modern living without it? Because rural electric power is avail able, someone has decided to build. This decision means sales of everything from roofing nails to plumbing fixtures and floor coverings. These sales benefit local lumber yards, hardware stores, appliance dealers, and a host of other merchants. Because rural electric power is there, the jobs are there. Local workmen get employment that otherwise would never come about. Adding up the score, we’ve found that new rural housing opens up more than 50 kinds of sales and jobs for local merchants and workmen. That’s why we say Rural Electrification is good for all Americans. ROANOKE ELECTRIC MEMBERSHIP CORP. SERVING 7,000 RURAL FAMILIES in NiH-thamptoD. Hertford, Bertie, Gates.
