More Than 75,000 Satisfied UsersDELCO-LIGHT w as designed and built by men who were raised in farm homes—who experienced the discomforts and inconveniences of farm life—and who set out deliberately years ago to develop an electric plant that would provide city advantages for rural communities.

They were the same men whose engineering talent had made DELCO Starting, Lighting and Ignition Equipment for automobiles the standard of the world—

They knew electricity- limitations o f farm life

-and they knew the needs and

They knew that an electric, plant to give service in a farm home must be simple, so that it would not get out o f crc itr and require complicated repairs—

It must be easily operated and require little attention—

It must be very economical in operation—

It must be built to stand hard usage and it must last indefinitely—

It required five years to develop a plant that would measure up to these specifications.There were five years of hard engineering effort back of DELCO-LIGHT before the first plant was put on the market three and a half years ago.Today DELCO-LIGHT is furnishing the conveniences and comforts of electricity to more than Seventy-five Thousand farm homes.It is providing an abundance of clean, bright, economical electric light for these homes. It is furnishing ppwer to pump water, operate washing machine, churn, separator, vacuum cleaner, electric iron, milking machine, and other small machinery.And everywhere it is demonstrating its wonderful erficien- c v - and actually paying for itself in time and labor saved.
