AND yet hundreds of people in our community are toiling,
tilling--plowing without sowing. How can you expect a
harvest of money in the days to come if you do not plant
some of it in an account here? Ceaseless tilling of the soil
without sowing seed is no more useless than endless work
without saving.

RURAL
ELECTRIFICATION
Bringing electric service to the
farm isbeing heralded today
as one of the greatest social
services that can be rendered.
Twenty-two years ago this
Company dedicated itself to
rural electrification as a nat-
ural part of its service to an
agricultural area.
The number of farms dec-
trifled by this Company dur-
ing the past 10 ,ears is more
than 400% ahead of the na-
tional increase. This is sound
evidence that this Company,
as a properly managed, pri-
vately owned utility, is wide
awake to the obligations ira.
posed upon it by the nature of
its business. It has been doing
quietly, for many years, those
things which best serve the
people.
HAT'S the dictionary's description of a pioneer . . .
one who goes before to prepare the way for another."
... What "way" was prepared? For whom? By whom? When?
How? Words, in answer to these questions, can never picture the
pioneering drama of transmission line service in Texas.
The way was prepared for the people to have low-cost, 24-hour
electric service by the Texas Power & I.ight Company, in 1912, by
means of transmission line electric service. That was what this
Company set out to do when it was organized. That is what it has
worked toward during the past 22 years. That is still its first
objective today.
In 1912, Texas communities were in dire need of dependable,
low-cost electric power. Hundreds of towns had no electric service.
Isolated power plants could not supply this need economically.
The only answer was transmission line service. Building
transmission lines in Texas, in 1912, was one of those things that
"couldn't be done." They were new. They were untried and
unproven except in one or two thickly settled areas in the East.
Texas communities were small and widely scattered. It would
require huge sums of money to build transmission lines and big
generating stations. The very best engineering counsel would be
required because those first transmission lines would become the
foundation of a system of lines reaching out to many cities,
towns, villages and farms. It was a job that could be done only
by pioneering Texans who could see the necessity of "preparing
the way for others."
The Texans who organized the Texas Power & Light Company
saw all of these handicaps. They were driven to overcome them
because they could see how transmission llne electric service would
benefit all the people of Texas. They dared to do that which "could
not be done." They built the first transmission lines in Texas.
What is the result?
More than 300 Texas cities and towns are servfd by this Com-
pany's transmission lines today. Of that total number, 171 had
no previous electric service. Industries have been established and
are thriving in many of these places today. Opportunities are
open for more industries in any of the communities having trans-
mission line power service from the Texas Power & Light Com-
pany. More than 2,000 dirt farms have the same 24-hour decttic
service enjoyed by city people.
* While these benefits have been accruing to the people because
of TP&L transmission line service, its average cost to residential
users has been lowered more than 35% during the past 10 years.
