Main Office, 911 Market Street DIAMOND COAL CO. The Public Utilities Belong To You The Wilmington Gas Company, like other public utilities, is owned by the people it serves. Either directly or indirectly these concerns belong to you, your next door neighbor and the man across the street. Several million Americans of both sexes own the stocks and bonds of the utility companies. Perhaps you are not a direct owner of any public utility, but if you have a bank account or carry an insurance policy, you are an indirect owner, whether you want to be or not.

Banks, trust companies and insurance companies own one and a half billion dollars' worth of their securities. Some member of almost every family either has a bank account or carries an insurance policy. Carl D. Jackson, chairman of the Wisconsin Public Utilities Commission, has this to say on the subject: There is probably not 'one man in fifty whom we meet on the street who does not own a part of a public utility, whether he knows it or not. So the questions relating to public utilities are not confined to the consumers on one side and the public utilities, as such, on the other, but the whole question is one involving financially nine-tenths of the entire population.

This is public ownership in the best and truest sense. CAS IN Office and Showroom, 827 Market St..
