Lykens Valley Light and Power Company, Williamstown, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.
Our aim is to serve all of the people, who wish to be served, all of the time.
As you grow and prosper, we grow and prosper — only we must do our growing first in order to be ready to serve you when and as you wish. The electrical growth of any community is much greater than the growth of population. Ten years ago all of your electrical wants were supplied by a plant of less than 300 KW capacity, while this same community is no being served by a modern steam turbine plant of 3,000 KW capacity. This great growth was made possible only by our faith in your ultimate conversion to the use of electricity to do many of the things you used to do by other means.
Nearly all our factories are to-day run by electricity. Seventy-five er cent of our women iron by electricity. Many wash by the same means. Some use it entirely for cooking. A great many sweep with it. Hundreds curl their hair with it. In fact, to the average family, the monthly bill for electricity represents not only the cost of light but also includes the cost of doing, easily, many of the household chores.
