It makes men more productive, enables them to earn more. It reduces home drudg- ery, and gives their wives more time for pleasure. It helps build prosperity. Hence population has flowed to centers with dependable power supply. Nowpower is reaching out to the smaller places. Suburbs, towns, villages and farms are being supplied with service that, a few years ago, only the big cities enjoyed. And as that development goes forward, it will have a broad influence on the movement of population--for men follow payrolls and pay- rolls follow power lines.
