There must be more than mere electric current to insure satisfaction.
Electricity is vastly more than a commercial product.
You cannot buy it at the counter in a measure and carry it home to be used as you wish or returned if it is not up to the standard of your expectations.
Electricity is a service that you purchase on faith.
The faith of our customers in our ability and desire to serve them to the last word in electrical efficiency is the great asset that has formed the foundation of our growth and business success.
We prize that faith more than we do our great power plants, and we strive to merit and retain it in the quality of our merchandise as well as in the quality of our service.
When you buy electric appliances of us you may place the same faith in them that thousands place in our ability to serve them. For we sell nothing that does not bear the guaranty of its manufacturer and our own assurance of satisfaction.

Directory Libraries
[[ Every Polk office has a library of directories of various cities. These are maintained for the convenience of our patrons, and they are con- stantly supplying information of many different kinds to people who come to use them.
Gi City Directories are City Catalogs. They contain a list of everybody and everything within a city. Many of the more progressive concerns buy directories of various cities as they are issued for mailing list purposes.
