In this we depend upon many factors, human and material. Among the chief of the material factors is an adequate supply of coal Between 2000 and 2500 tons of coal are needed daily to pro¬ vide the recjuired steam for the generators of the Waterside Stations of this Company. Large reserves are kept at all times in the bunkers of these power plants and a still larger reserve is retained at .Shadyside, New Jersey, where coal is delivered by rail and water from no less than twelve different mines The great aggregations of power in the plants of this Com¬ pany insure what is of paramount importance—the most con¬ servative practicable use of coal. The effective results pro¬ duced from each pound of coal consumed under these condi¬ tions are from two to five times greater than is possible where the generation of power is confined to small and inefficient units. In other words, one ton of coal does the work of from two to five tons consumed under the conditions usually pre¬ vailing in small power plants. Thus the Edison Service con¬ serves one of our great national resources The New York Edison Company At Your Service General Offices: Irving Place and 15th Street Telephone, Stuj-vesant 5600 RECORD .IND GUIDE IS IN ITS FIFTIETH YE.A^R OF CONTINUOUS PUBI.ICATION.
