USE ELECTRICITY Some Reasons Why You Should In some case* there are specific reasons for utilizing Electricity as an agency — reasons of economy, convenience, reliability, etc. In other cases we find the broader, general reasons— sanitary, general utility and efficiency; but the peculiarity of Electricity as a commodity for general use is that wherever it competes with any other iiluminant or motive power, it is acknowledged by the public to be the unquestioned leader. The sole claim for recognition of other mediums has been the of price. It is time for the public to realize that the "price" bug-a-boo no longer exists. High efficiency lamps place Electricity for light and advertising upon a par as to price with any other modern iiluminant or motive | force — from every other standpoint it is immeasurably superior. You will have to use Electricity sooner or later — reasons of expediency guarantee that fact — and there really seems to be no good reason why you should not take advantage of your opportunities for more comfortable home life and efficient business conditions right nctOl * Remember the slogan, "If it isn't 'Qlectric it isn't Jftodern" and then consult CAPE MAY LIGHT AND POWER COMPANY 409 WASHINGTON ST.
