When Project Diana opened the space age...it was such an event even advertisers grabbed on. Thanks to David Mofenson, of Mass. for saving and sharing this with us.
Can you recall 'Reddy Kilowatt - Your electric servant'?
The other night
the Evans Signal Laboratory, birthplace of Army Radar, sent a message to
the Moon, which rebounding, was registered back in Belmar in two and a
half seconds. May we take pardonable pride that the Electric Power for
this breath-taking experiment was furnished by us. Thus Jersey Central
became, the first power company in history to send its impulses outside
the Earth's orbit.
We have chosen this marvel in science, to set our minds working with those of our customers, not so much on further, uses for electricity away from the earth's surface, as right down here in the home where our chief concern continues to lie.
Already there is Radar, Television, both around the corner as household necessities. Science is speeding up. There are new worlds to conquer here on earth, some of them in the home. So this is a great day to live in. Almost anything ELECTRICAL can now happen.
This Company pledges its abilities, not to send messages via: the Moon, which soon may be common and of great practicability, but rather to improve electric service in the home, avail itself of new methods and in, ventions, and to keep continually at its policy which is, "Our Conception of the Utility Business is to render the best possible service we can at the lowest possible rate."
