A Card
T
Of Thanks
To our friends who so
kindly said a few words
in our behalf, and we will
aim to make new friends
by giving good service to
the old ones.
Never betore were we
better equipped to do so
than at present.
The increasing cost of
living is a recogized uni
versal condition. The
price of every commodity
which enters into the
everyday life of the peo
ple appears to have ad
vanced.
The one notable excep
tion which we wish to
call to your attention, it
is Electricity. Two reas
ons may be stated for the
resulting decrease in the
cost of electric light to
the consumer: First-bet
terment of central station
machinery and methods.
Second—improvement in
the incandescent lamp.
We have always striv
en to give our customers
the benefit of any in
crease in efficiency, with
the result that you are
getting today three times
as much light for the
same money that you did
ten years ago.
This is made possible
by the use of “Mazda”
lamps wherein you now
get 32-candle power for
the same price that you
formerly paid for sixteen,
and the development of
water powers that were
going to waste until made
to help mankind by the
aid of local and outside
capital. And we feel rea
sonably sure that all fair
minded men will give
that from the states an
ever break with that of
local.
Many people are still using
the carbon owing to the differ
ence in first cost of the two
lamps; but when you stop to
think that for 40 cents you can
get a Mazda lamp that will
give you 34-2 candle-power of
light, as contrasted with 16.8
candle-power from a 50 watt
lamp.
OUR SLOGAN:
24 Hours of Daylight with the
Edison Mazda Lamp.
