Better Electric Service for Rural Missouri
Thirty years ago consumers paid high rates to a small local electric concern with unreliable service. Today the Missouri Utility Company provides high standards of service at a fraction of the former price, with strong power resources and nationwide reach. Rural electrification expands access to farms and cities at reasonable costs, aided by labor saving devices.
