Slattery, Chairman of the Illinois Commerce Commission. Customers throughout the territory served by the Company will save approximately $1,140,000.00 annually under the new rates. This reduction will be made in two cuts; the first, totaling approximately $399,000.00 annually and effective April 1st, will apply to stores, offices, and small business establishment. The second cut, totalling approximately $741,000.00 annually, will reduce the rates of household users beginning with bills rendered on fend after June 1st. A feature of the n^w commercial rates is that the demand charge, which in effect represents the company's readiness-to-serve costs, becomes substantially less an item in the total cost of electricity to this class of customer. The "demand charge" for the small commercial customers will be eliminated. According to Britton I. Budd, president of the Public Service Company of ^orthern Illinois, the new rate takes into account the growing tendency on the part of various types of commercial enterprises to develop improved standards of lighting and sign illumination, and encourages the use of modern window lighting and airconditioning. Mr. Budd stated the new reduced rates represent a further step not only toward lowering the cost of electricity to homes and business in northern Illinois, but also toward rate simpli fication. It will be recalled thAa reduction for residential cunfeiers amounting to more than $72(^^00.00 was made less than a year ago.

That's why we're anxious to have you try Buick--it's a car with a winning way about it, and a winning price tag in the bargain!
