Description: Up for auction is this very nice Vintage Advertisement from COMMONWEALTH EDISON. "A Means of Contact Between the Makers of Electricity and the People Who Use It." This is a pamphlet that probably came with your Electric bill. It is called "Edison Service News". It is Vol. 8 No. 3. It is dated March, 1933. The front page features this statement: "Edison Service is so dependable and convenient to use that it is simply taken for granted, and few people give a thought to its actual economy.
