Electricity for the Poor Man
Then; seems to be a time in the development of everything now
when it apparently is intended for the rieh alone. Uefore printing
became perfected and books ascheap a<* ttiey are now a library
containing a score of voluineswas considered to be a thing that
rnuId not enter into the calculations of one in the middle class.
In later times the automobile has developed from a luxury to a
commercial necessity, says Eh'ctric (lily Magazine.
It is a great mistake to imagine that because one is poor and
must economize one cannot hav electricity; in fact, the poorer
one is the worse he needs it. The electric iron, the washing
machine driven by an electric motor, a sewing machine which
need only be attended in so farus if is necessary to direct the
course of the seam, and a dozen 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 the work is being done.
Her strength is saved for something inor:? than hard mechanical
labor. She who does her ironin with an electric iron avoids the
discomfort of bending over a hot stove. Her iron is always hot
so that she can turn out her work to much advantage. Aside
from first cost these electric appliances and utensils for the home
are the truest sources of economy.
It should he remembered that every electrical appliance that is
used saves just so much dirt, labor and inconvenience. Excessive
housework and nerve exhausting home .mowing by old melitods are
costly, as ill health always is tfeir accompaniment.
In the modern linking up ofsmall electric service enterprises
into larger and more compact systems is seen one of the factors
which tends to reduce costs, and therefore the price to the con
sumer. The other factor which helps toward the same end is the
general increase in the u*e of electric service throughout the
whole day, due to its more universal use jn the home and in the
business world.
