The local company supplies power to the following villages: Adams, Adams Center, Rodman, Smithville, Pierpont Manor, Ellisburg, and Mannsville, and wholesale power to Lorraine, Bell- ville, Woodville, Henderson and Henderson Harbor.
The success of the Adams Electric Light Company is due largely to the untiring efforts and energy which have been expended by Mr. Steele, who has devoted practically his entire life to the upbuilding of this enterprise.
