Synopsis
Excerpt from A Guide for Members of Rural Electric Co-Ops
Why did not power companies build more rural electric lines? Commercial companies are in the power business for profit. They usually cannot make as much profit from rural lines as from urban lines. Before 1935, most farmers could not get electricity unless they lived close to towns or villages, could afford to pay a lot toward the cost of getting a line built, and agreed to pay high rates for electric service.
