ONTARIO
IS ON PROSPERITY STREE
You can help Hydro keep
her there Save Electricity
Ontario has made giant strides since the war. Her output from factories,
farms and other industries has expanded enormously.. In fact, her progress has
been phenomenal.
. Here is. the rub. Since industry in Ontario depends so heavily on Electricity,
this wonderful expansion has resulted in insistent calls for more and more
Hydro power.
What is the Answer? Just this: Hydro has many new power developments
under way, but it takes several years to build new generating plants. Ini the
meantime Hydro asks each of you good Ontario citizens ...homemakers, work-
ers, farmers, storekeepers, business men to do your part... to Save Electricity.
It should be easy. All of us use it lavishly—more so than any other people on
earth—because Hydro rates are so low..
every saving, no matter how small, will'be worth while. Don't burn lights
needlessly, use your electric range with care. Turn off motors and appliances as
soon as you are finished with, them. Please do your part and save electricity,
everywhere you can. It's needed during every daytime hour.
Every, bit of Electric Power saved will he used to maintain employment,
to make more jobs, to keep Ontario on Prosperity Street.
Save Electricity—Maintain Employinent
