The POWER to Grow West Texas, the New Empire, literally has the POWER to grow. The discov- ery of oil, the extension of the electric power lines and the construction of new rail lines have formed a mighty triumvirate, the foundations of a prosperous ter- ritory. But back of these material things is the real reason for solid growth- MAN-POWER. Texas Electric Service Company, supplying electric power to 65 cities and towns in West Texas, realizes that the greatest resource of this New Empire is its progressive citizens. Oil, electric power and railroads are of little benefit unless there are men who dream, visualize and use these material things to make their dreams come true. Ample electric power is one of the first requirements of a growing territory and the Texas Electric Service Company cheerfully assumes its responsibility to aid in every practical way the development of the New Empire of West Texas.
