DAD CARRIED A LANTERN

There were times when Mother had to

wade through snow to carry wood to feed
the kitchen stove. She heated water on the

stove to thaw the pump. Then she pumped

more water and carried it in to be heated

on the same stove for cooking, scrubbing
and bathing—and for thawing the pump

again.

But on the farms of Michigan life has

changed, and is continuing to change.

The greatest factor in that change has been

the availability of electric power.

In the electrified farm home that lantern is

almost a museum piece. In the kitchen, the

bathroom and the laundry, water, hot and

The Detroit Edison Company already has made service available to 34,000
of the 37,000 farms in its 7,600 square
miles of territory. Its objective is to see that electric service is ss ithin the reach of every one of those farms.

To that end Detroit Edison now is engaged in extending its lines some 600
miles into every remote corner of its
rural territory. These extensions will he completed just as rapidly as
