Electricity tor the Poor Man
There seems to be a time in tin; development ol" everything new
when it apparently is intendedfor tho rich alone. Before printing
became perfected and books as cheap ap they are now a library
containing a score of volumeswas considered to be a tiling that
could not enter into the calculations of one in the middle (Mass.
In later times the automobile lias developed from a luxury to a
commercial necessity, says Kb-ctric € lit y Magazine.
ll is a great mistake to imagine that because one is poor and
must economize one cannot ha\ electricity; in fact, (lie poorer
one is the worse he needs it. 'J'be electric iron, the washing
machine driven by an electric niolur, a sewing machine which
need only be attended in so far as it is necessary to direct I lie
course of the seam, and a dozrn convenient cooking devices are
available for thonsamis today who hesitate |o think them within
their means. The woman who washes with an electric machine
can direct her energies elsewhere \\'hile the work is being done.
Her strength is «aved for something mor.' than hard mechanical
labor. She who does her inuiin 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 flrst cost these electric appliances and utensils for the home
are the truest sources of economy.
II should be remembered that every electrical appliance that i.^
u<ed saves just so much dirt, labor and inconvenience. Kxcessive
housework and nerve exhausting home sewing by old mehlods are
costly, as ill health always is heir accompaniment.
In 1 ho modern linking up of small electric service enterprises
into larger and more compact system* is seen one «»f the factors
which tends to reduce costs, and therefore the price lo the con
sumer. The other factor which helps toward I lie same end is the
general increase in the use of electric service Ihroiighonl the
whole day, due to its more universal use in the home and in the
business world.
