Many problems have faced our Nation during the
past quarter century — some have found tremendously
successful solutions . . .
One of the problems facing our people just 25 years
ago was what to do to help the dark, dimly lit areas
between our cities and towns . . . areas which were
unserved by any source of electric power.
The solution to this one stands out like a lighthouse
among successful examples of the people in action—
the successful organization and operation of electric
cooperatives! .. .
The money to build the lines was borrowed by the
people from the REA — end they are paying *t k?cT
with interest. Electricity brought into these dark
from oblivion
