(A World Ne ,, s Service THE DETRO T EDISON COMPANY' 2000 SEcoND AVENUE DETROIT 20,111CRIGAN May, 1947 To Our Residential Customers: The Detroit Edison Company has a story that needs telling: It is an important but little noted phase of the story of skyrOcketing prices and the now dramatic effort to stop dangerous increases in the cost of living. The fact is that Detroit Edison fought this fight all throUgh the days when there was no drama in it. Through the war, and since then, there has been no increase in the price of Detroit Edison electricity to residence customers. This Company, while PAYING higher prices for labor and materials, has been able to REDUCE the price of electricity. Detroit Edison residence customers now use 50 per cent more electricity than they did in 1939. This increase in use is a major factor in making possible the reductions in price. That process, applied to ALL production, opens the door to lower prices, progress and prosperity, and to better living for the people. Prentiss M.' Brown, Chairman of.the_Board 'James W. Parker, President and General - Manager
