"Electricity!
Man’s Greatest Benefactor”
\
c
Savs JAMES ]• DAVIS
Secretary, U. S. Department of Labor
**The electric light and power com
panies have performed a notable
service in bringing electric power
to every kind of mill and factory,
and in adapting it to every phase of
industry. It has eliminated un^
wholesome and backbreaking tasks.
It has made for better labor condi^
tions, because it has enabled the
worker to produce more ana tne em-
pJoyer to pay him mor#."***
7VILIZATTON is built on
power—^the ami-ive energy re
quired to dig a hole, build a
bridge or sweep a room.
To the degree that electric
energy is substituted for manual
labor, and man becomes the
director of machinery, instead of
the slave of toil, is that power
made more useful and the lot of
the individual and the nation
improved.
What the electric energy gen
erated by the electric power
companies of this country means
in terms of national wealth, is
shown by the fact that the electric
motors of the United States are
doing every day as much work
as could be accomplished by
175,000,000 men.
Translated into terms of dollars
and cents, this means an increase
in the national income of the
country from* 1900 to 1925
from twenty billion dollars to
sixty-five billion dollars, during
which period the earnings of
individual industrial workers
more than doubled.
Such widespread benefits have
been made possible only by the
public-spirited vision of men of
the widest knowledge and ex
perience in electrical work, oper-
ating under the American prin-
dple of individual initiative, and
guided at every step by the con
sideration of the common good.
The American people may safely
depend upon these electric power
companies to carry forward the
program of electrical and indus
trial progress with the same ini
tiative, integrity and courage
they have exemplified in the past.
