Every idle stream  or waterfall that  is put to work, and furnishes  light and power to homes and  factories 
many  miles  away, means a  saving  in coal  and, what  is  more  important,  a  saving  in  human  energies. 

How  far  can a waterfall  fall? 
In  1891  General  Electric 
Company  equipped  an  elec 
tric  plant  at  San  Antonio 
Canyon for  transmitting  elec 
tric power 28 miles^-a record. 

Improvements in elec 
trical development  do 
not  "happen."  They 
come  from  the  tire 
less research of trained 
scientists.  The  Gen 
eral  E l e c t r ic  Com 
pany  invests  in  the 
work  of  its  Research 
L a b o r a t o r i es  more 
than  a  million  dollars 
a  year. 

Today  electric  power  from  a 
waterfall  is carried  ten  times 
as  far. 

Some day remote farm  homes 
will  have  electricity  and 
streams that  now yield  noth 
ing  will  be  yielding  power 
and  light.
