Consider All The Expenses
lant Operation ?

Do you count in the waste entailed by its operation, the
high insurance rates, the value of floor space occupied ? These are
expenses which the average owner does not consider. Yet they represent
actual money lost each year. Wouldn't you prefer power service that
eliminates all incidental expenses and gives you far better results ?

Edison Service Assures
Cheaper, Better Power

We can prove, by a comparison with your own books, that
it will be cheaper for you to buy power from Central Station than to
generate it. And we can also prove that Central Station Service is far
more dependable and efficient. An appointment with one of our engineers
can be made by phone.    No obligation whatever.
