It will be necessary to make over the human body when justice
will be engraved in the flesh as with the machine of torture which
Kafka describes in his "Punitive Colony."
If vie follow him to the end, Kafka would lead us far through
novels and stories full of imagination and full of unhappiness which
besets man since his creation.

Once a single transformer served your home.
That transformer was the transfer point, the
vital connecting link, between the miles
upon miles of power lines and the line that
served you. When it failed the power was
gone.

Engineers of The Detroit Edison Company

conceived and developed the idea of connecting many of these transformers together in
"banks," and now several of them must fail at the same time before you and your
neighbors are deprived of power. That seldom happens.

That is only one ,of many things that have been done to insure the householder, 'the
merchant and the manufacturer an uninterrupted supply of power adequate for all needs
—those of the present and those of the future.

That was a Detroit Edison idea—a Detroit Edison FIRST.

That was an incident in the story of this company's contribution to the community
of today.

It is indicative of some of the things that this company, as a citizen, can be expected to
contribute to the community that is to he.
