SHOP FROM HOME BY TV. It’s raining hard and she’s two-way TV-telephone. She sees the merchandise in color busy. So she presses a button and talks to the store over a and makes her choice. Already, they’re working on this. POWER COMPANIES BUILD FOR YOUR FUTURE ELECTRIC LIVING All kinds of exciting new electric appliances are just around the corner, the inventors say. One of these days you may shop by TV . . . have an appliance that takes food from the freezer to the range, then cooks and serves it, all electrically . . . and a scrubber that cleans the kitchen floor automatically and scurries back to its own wall-cupboard. You’ll probably put twice as much electricity to work as you do today —twice as much doing chores for you at home, and twice as much helping you in your job. That’s why the hundreds of independent electric light and power companies are building new plants and facilities to double their supply in ten years. They and their millions of owners invest close to $4,000,000,000 a year, which means the companies can build without using taxpayers’ money. In spite of this, certain people are urging the government to build billions of dollars worth of federal electric power systems— on top of nearly $5,500,000,000 of taxpayers’ money already spent for such “public power.” You can get more facts and figures about this in a new, free booklet.
