SIXTY YEARS
OF LIGHT:.
Just sixty years ago this week, electric lights
winked on for a handful of Detroiters—eighty-nine,
to be exact. Amid applause and excitement, four
little generators in the Edison power plant at
Washington Blvd. and State St. (which now houses
Detroit Edison's downtown office) had begun to
hum.

ing of them ever since Thomas Edison invented
the incandescent lamp seven years before. But,
though some of these women might have foreseen a
day when they could flood their homes with sun-
light at the flip of a switch, they couldn't have
dreamed of a time when lamps would purify the
air they breathed or sterilize the food they cooked.
And they would have been incredulous had they
been told that electricity soon would be accom-
plishing a score of household chores.
Similarly, the husbands of these women, reading by flickering lamps about John L. Sullivan's
latest battle, might have looked forward to a day of better lighting. It isn't likely, though, that many of
them foresaw the growth of southeastern Michigan into a great industrial giant. How could they
visualize vast factories lighted day and night by hundreds of thousands of fluorescent lamps?
Yes, it was an historic event for Michigan. But the Edison Illuminiting Company did not consider itself
a public benefactor—bringing Edison's priceless gift of light to a darkened city. Far from it. It thought
of itself as just another small business—it had little realization of its destiny.
The first bills were high. Many of those eighty-nine customers used their current recklessly, demon-
strating their lamps to friends and playing with them as though they were toys. It was November,
when the nights are long and the days are dark. And the rate was more than six times as much as
you pay today.
As people saw the advantages that electricity had for them, they sought electric .

Today, more than 850,000 customers are served with light and power by Detroit Edison. Quite

contrast to the eighty-nine of sixty years ago.
