How Much Do You Lose By
Operating Your Own Power Plant?
It costs less to buy power from Central Station than it does to generate
it in a private power plant. Our engineers have proved this fact frequently
and convincingly to interested power users, by actual comparison of facts and
figures. And Central Station Service is far more efficient in every way than
private plant operation. The heavy initial investment, the 15% annual loss
due to interest and depreciation, the serious risk of fire and explosion with
attendant high premiums for insurance—these are only some of the disadvant¬
ages of power privately generated.
Central Station Power
Has No Disadvantages
It is the perfect power for any purpose where power is needed. Its use
redeems the floor space occupied by a private plant and its coal supply, for
productive, rental or storage purposes-^an item not usually considered by the
private power-user. Without cost to you, or obligation, one of our engineers
will investigate your power necessities.
