USE OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY
INCREASING RAPIDLY
Nearly a third of the farms in the
U.S. are still without electric ser
vice, according to Claude H.v/ic’card.
In addition, he said,there are hun
dreds of thousands of other rural
establishments in need of electrici
ty.
"Providing this service,1' he added,
ifis going to be much more difficult
than the job already done. Many c_
the unserved people are in spars:-'7
populated sections of the- cauii ';
Many are1 in areas where source-' r
power are inadequate or non-emu.Men.
All of them, hov/ever, have as m .r
need for power and by right ar^ a
much entitled to it as any of th
people fortunate enought to have cc
tained service before "now. f
Experts in the field of electrical
development are predicting that ’03
1951 all rural areas in the United
States will have electrical service
available to them.
And--with available electricity will
come the use of hundreds of modern
home appliances, the speeding of farm
and dairy production.
POM® APPLIANCES IF RECORD PEFAFD
According to the Fev; York Times of
January 4, 1949--A new over-all
peace time peal: in production and
sales was established by the electri
cal industry during 1948. According
to a statement issued by the manag
ing director of the rational Elec
trical Manufacturers association, the
total production for the entire in#
dustry was estimated at v7,500,000/
000, compared with .^6,750,000,000
in 1947. This eak was 65 percent
higher than the pre-war peak reached
in 1941, and 275 percent higher than
the corresponding figure for 1939.
During 1948 5,000,000 refrigerators
were sold by the industry as compare
with 1,900,000 in 1939. In addition
to the sales of these electric house
hold' refrigerators, almost 750,000
farm and home freezers were sold.In
1939 and even in 1941 the manufacture
and sale of farm and home freezers
was negligible.
Sales of electric ranges also reached
a new high during 1948, "ith a fig
ure of 1,700,000 units, almost
500.000 untis more than in 1947.The
increase in number of units during
1948 over 1947 v;as greater than the
Jrotal industry sales in 19401.brother
interesting appliance figure is the
4.500.000 washing machines which
were sold during 1946, along with
almost 500,000 ironers. Sales of var
ious electrical table appliances,
such as flatirons,toasters,coffee
makers,roasters etc. still ramain
very high as compared with, prewar.
