Thomas Edison did! A Many men ridiculed his dream. Others believed in it. These men J V, t N C of vision provided the finances Edison needed to continue his . - ,. ' '2 myrtle? work. And 75 years ago the dream became reality! Their co- operative achievement is an example of free enterprise at work. Edison s incandescent lamp was the birth of modern electric service. It was the original appliance for which Edison- devel- oped an entirely new system for the generation and distribution of electricity Today electric power serves so faithfully we take it for granted, like the air we breathe.
