Do You Contemplate Building
Now or At Any Time ?

A private plant is expensive to install and to operate. Interest,
depreciation, and other "fixed" costs, including accident and fire insurance,
and taxes, amount to at least 15% each year. There is a waste of
valuable floor space caused by the power plant and its coal supply. The
risk of fire and explosion is not only great in itself but it makes insurance
premiums higher. And private plant power carries no assurance of con¬
stant sufficiency and reliability.

Central Station Power

By installing Central Station Power you eliminate the heavy
initial cost of a private plant and also all the incidental expense. And
Kdison power has so many advantages in the way of efficiency and effect¬
iveness, and its cost is so low, that it is by far the best and cheapest
power. Almost all of New York's new buildings buy their power from
Central Station. Do you want to know why ? Just ask for one of our
engineers.    No obligation to you.
