Adopts ANOTHER BIG ISOLATED POWER PLANT has been discarded for Edison Service. All the power used in the American Tobacco Company building at Penn Street and Wythe Avenue is now supplied from the service mains of the Edison Electric Illuminating Company of Brooklyn. The equipment replaced with Edison Service consisted of five Donohue boilers totaling 650-horsepower and three high-speed engines direct connected to generators. The owner and operator of this apparatus had for more than fifteen years been connected with the management of power stations throughout the country. Under the organization of a man with such experience and knowledge of producing power at low cost, the American Tobacco Company plant became a model of efficiency and economy.

In spite of these facts, however, it was found, after making daily test3 and detailed investigations covering a period of three months, that it would cost less to buy power from the Edison Company than to generate it in this up-to-date plant. Since its installation Edison Service has demonstrated its superiority and economy over private plant power, and the American Tobacco Company is making arrangements to almost double their daily output of 12,000,000 cigarettes under Edison power, 1 III IIIMIlllll III I l( i 1MilmM iMmlllillllinim 1 ENGINE ROOM IN AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY BUILDING SHOWING UP-TO-DATE PRIVATE POWER EQUIPMENT REPLACED WITH EDISON SERVICE The Edison Offer to Private Power Plant Owners We offer to Brooklyn merchants and manufacturers, who operate gas, steam or oil plants, the services of our power engineers.

Their report will give to any private plant owner valuable information as to his present power costs and compare the figures with what Edison Service under similar conditions would cost.

It means that all cleaning you do washing dishes, washing clothes, cleaning paint or woodwork everything about house-cleaning can be done in cool or lukewarm water, with half the effort it used to take.

Everything but biscuits nnd soup is placed in a common bowl on the table and the dainty bits are fished out by all with chop sticks. At some Inns a variety of bun-like cakes were made, baked in nn Iron dish, the cover of which contained glowing charcoal. Tea is served at all times and in large quantities it is used instead of water, which In most cases is very bad. We generally started at about five in the morning and with two hours at luncheon finished between six nnd seven in the evening. The were very cold and our breath froze on the earlaps of our fur caps.
