EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage electricity bill from Lima, New York State, USA, dated 1918. The bill is for Mrs. William Vary, a resident of Lima, who received her power supply from the Lima Honeoye Electric Light & Railroad Company. In the month of May that year, Mrs. Vary consumed six kilowatts of electricity, resulting in a total charge of one dollar. It is important to note that late payment of the bill would incur a ten percent penalty. The electricity industry was in its infancy during the 1910s, and this bill provides a glimpse into the history of this essential technology that has transformed our daily lives. The reading on the meter indicates that the electricity was used primarily for lighting and household appliances, which were becoming increasingly common during this period. The Lima Honeoye Electric Light & Railroad Company was a local power supplier that provided electricity to residents and businesses in the Lima area. The company's name suggests that it may have also been involved in the railroad industry, which was a common trend during this time as electricity was used to power trains. This postcard-sized bill is a fascinating artifact from the past, showcasing the technological advancements of the era and the evolution of the electricity industry in the United States. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of managing our energy consumption and paying our bills on time!
