Electricity for the Poor Man
There seems h» lie a lime in In* de\elopmeiil. of everything new
when i| apparently is intendedfor Ihe rieh ahuie. He fore printing
liecamc perfected ami books aseheap as I hey arc now a library
containing a score of volimieswas considered to be a thing that
eould not enter into the calculations of one in the middle class.
In laler times the. automobile has developed from a luxury to a
commercial necessity, says Klectric (lily Magazine.
It is a great mistake to imagine that because one is poor and
must < conomi/.c one cannot hav electricity; in fact, the poorer
one is the worse he needs it. The electric iron, the washing
machine driven by an clcctriciuolor, a sewing machine which
need only be attended in so far as it is necessary to direct the
course of Ihe seam, and a do/en convenient cooking devices are
available for thousands today who hesitate to think them within
their means. The woman who washes with an electric machine
can direct her energies elsewhere while (lie work is being done.
Her strength is saved for something nmri I ban hard mechanical
labor. She who does her ironin with an electric iron avoids the
discomfort of bending over a hot stove, ller iron is always hot
so that she can turn out her work to much advantage. Aside
from first cost, ihese electric appliances and utensils for the home
are Ihe truest sources of economy.
II should be remembered lha every electrical appliance that is
u-ed saves just s<» much dirt, labor and inconvenience. Excessive
housework and nerve exhausting home sewing by old mchlods arc
costly, as ill health always i< heir accompaniment.
In the modern linking up ofsmall electric service enterprises
into larger and more compact vstenis i< seen one of the factors
which tends to reduce costs, and therefore the price to the con
sumer. The oilier factor which helps toward Ihe same end is Ihe
general increase in Ihe use of electric service throughout Ihe
whole day, due to its more universal use in Ihe home and in Ihe
business world.
