Show A Gateway to Progress There it stands-a simple forty-foot gateway but unlike any other in the entire world. Through it have come many of the engineering ideas that have made this an electrical America. The story of electrical development beginsintheResearchLaboratories. Here the ruling spirit is one of knowledge- truth-rather than immediate practical results. In this manner are established new theories-tools for futureuse-which sooner or later find ready application. The great industries that cluster around Niagara Falls, the electrically driven battleships, the trolley cars and electrified railways that carry millions, the lamps that glow in homes and streets, the househcldconveniencesthathaverelieved women of drudgery, the labor-saving electrical tools of factories, all owe their existence, partly at least, totheco-ordinated efforts of the thousands who daily stream through this gateway. ¦ "•¦;¦¦¦¦ General Office Schenectady, N.Y. ,.....ail:,; itii iiii iii Pli ¦¦?¦¦¦¦¦$-¦¦ : '^^^fci*^- ¦ .: ¦ -r- r;::¦•;:;>, ::;.
