" - owned by those they serve!”
When a new Member comes on the line, the
Rural Electric System has a new owner — for
each member owns a share in his Rural Electric
System.
And he’ll use far more electricity in a year
than he would have just a few years ago, for the
uses of this vital, low-cost electricity in rural
areas increase each year. This means greater
efficiency . . a bigger market for the goods and
services of Main Street.
Future farmers, who will be called on to feed
our exploding population in the years to come
will find their job possible only because of the
availability of abundant, low-cost electric power.
Rural Electrics recognize their responsibility,
too, to help expand business
and industry, sustain em
ployment, and create job
opportunities and improve
the standards of living
throughout all rural areas!
