A railroad strike, a miner's strike, storms, floods, an embargo --any one of several things ma^y make it a reality. If coal shipments are stopped the plant will be greatly hampered; perhaps it must shut down. Of course coal storage is possible--if you want to divert your capital to that purpose. The Danger is not present to plants that run on Electric Power from a Central Station The Central Station figures possible interruptions to its coal supplies as carefully as it does on coal itself. It keeps on hand always a mountain of coal. It organizes fuel resources in addition that no event short of general ruin can exhaust. You needn't think of fuel if you are connected with a Central Station. Another thing about the motor driven plant, connected with Central Station: It's ready for work In its full effi­ ciency day or night. Just turn the switches and the motors respond.
