A BRAND representative
spent Monday of this week at
Bovina and Texico. . . partly to |
ascertain the progress of these
two prosperous little villages.
At Texico we found a good
school, a splendid hardware
store owned by our former
townsmen Guy Gamble and J. II.
Cardwell; a good ho'el conduct-
ed by M. O. Meeks, also a former
Herefordite; several general
merchandise stores, a lumber
yard and a saloon. All these
firms seem to be doing well
and are satisfied . . . About the
smallest thing seen at Texico
was her depot, which consists of
a rundown freight car.

Ilats off
the People who Produce
your Electric Light
and Power
f Ilte Charles A. Coffin Foundation V
f confers a special citation jor v
distinguished wartime achievement
on the
ELECTRIC LIGHT and POWER INDUSTRY
“Faced with unprecedented demands, the Electric Eight and
Power Industry has met every war-production requirement
without delay and without impairment of its peacetime services
to the public. 7 his achievement merits the appreciation not
only of American industry hut of the entire nation. ”
ISOM IHf. CITATIOM
What Is th« Charles A. Coffin Foundation?
O
'"THE PURPOSE of the Charles A. Coffin
A Foundation is to encourage and reward
distinguished achievement in the electrical field
by "prizes to employees; by recognition to light-
ing, power, and railway companies for improve-
ment in service to the public; hy fellowships to
deserving graduate students; and hy the grant
of funds for research work at technical schools
and colleges.”
Establishment of the awards was announced
twenty-two years ago in a statement issued hy
President Swope and dated December z, i</ai; I
"On May t(s, /?<?z, Char let A. Coffin in his ySlh
year reined from Ilte active leadership of the General
Electric Company. Mr. Coffin has been identified
with the development of the electrical industry since
iHHj. He was the founder and creator of the General
Electric Company, of which he has been the in-
spiration and leader for thirty years.
" As an expression of appreciation of Mr. Coffin's
great work not only for the General Electric Com-
pany but also Jor the entire electrical industry and
with the desire to make this appreciation enduring
and comlruc/ive as Mr. Coffin's life and work
have been, the Hoard of Directors of the General
Electric Company, created on his retirement and
now detires to announce the ‘Charles A. Coffin
Eoundahon.' ”

toMt III V«tf Country's ftrtur#
—BUY WAR BONOS
'TTIIS CITATION is richly merited—for here is a
branch of industry that has done a remarkable
war job that has not been generally recognized.
If electric power should fail, or if it be too little or
too late, the disastrous effects would startle all America.
Vital machines would be motionless. Millions of homes
would be cold- and an eerie blackout would descend
over the land.
But, electricity has not failed. Rather, in 1943 twice
as much power was produced as in the year before the
war-*-with the minimum of new facilities - and despite
large losses of skilled employees to the Armed Services.
In the words of J. A. Krug, Director, Office of War
Utilities of W.P.B., "Power men—public and private—
should be proud of the job that has been done in provid-
ing power supply. Power has never been too little or too
late.”
We of General Electric, who have built a large part
of the electric equipment which generates, distributes,
and uses the electric power of America, take pride in
the way this equipment is standing up under the strain
of "forced draft" wartime operation.
Many of the men and women responsible for this
remarkable record are your neighbors—the manager
or meter reader who lives across the street, the girl in
the accounting department who is in your bridge chi'
the lineman with whom you bowled last night. A v<
of appreciation from you to them will lend added si,
nificancc to this well deserved citation. General Liar
Company, Schenectady, New York.
