In Cost of Residence Lighting Beginning September 1,1912, this com­ pany will offer to its residence customers the privilege of using its service for lighting at the Maximum Demand Rate. Under this system electricity used for residence lighting will b$ fourteen and one-half cents (14^c) per kilowatt hour for the first thirty hours' use of the maximum number of kilowatt hours taken at any one time during the month. The r^te charged for all remaining kilo­ watt hours will be eight cents (8c). :: A discount for' prompt payment of one cent per kilowatt hour on the custom­ er's total consumption of electricity will be allowed by the company on all bills paid at the proper office or agency within ten (10) days after their dates by him. :: :: ~ Customers having installations of less than five kilowatts (that is, less than 100 lamps of fifty watts each) will have their maximum demand determined by fixed per centage of their installation. This rate will effect an average reduc­ tion in residential lighting bills of 15 per cent. :: :4 - :: Public Service Co. OF NORTHERN ILLINOIS ii,*. • i lHI|Kirl ft 3 • wife®®!

DEBRECHT JohnsburgH mw mru IRE UINli 10 THINK fiery day that this question of home-building we've been talk­ ing about is really a worthy topic. When they stop to con­ sider the great inlluence a nice home has on a family and notice particularly the success that comes to those people who pride themselves on their homes, they come to realize that our talk is not based solely on our desire to sell lumber. Of course, we're here to dispose of as much lum­ ber as we can and we urge its use in home-building because we believe it's the best all 'round building material on earth today. We've been studying home- building for a good many years and wherever we found a brand of lumber that was better than anything we'd ever seen before we adopted it. We think our Btock is pretty good--come® in and see what you think of it. ••There's No Place Like Home" WILBUR LUMBER CO.
