TWENTY-FOUR HOUR ELECTRIC SERVICE
Electric Light Company turns on the Current from the Mayville Plant Tuesday Evening

  Campbellsport now has continued electric light service. The new line from Lomira to Campbellsport, connecting this village with Mayville, for the first time carried the current Tuesday evening.
   A few minor details had to be adjusted and the power was shut off Wednesday morning to give the linemen a chance to make these changes. The power was again turned on during the afternoon of Wednesday and continual current is now being furnished.
   The lights are bright and steady, and many electric fans are buzzing in private homes and local business places today, indicating the warm welcome extended the twenty-four electric service.
   The company had considerable trouble to complete this line, especially in securing wire. In the first place they were unable to get any copper wire whatsoever, and in substituting steel they had to use a special coil wire, which required more than double the work that is required in stringing copper.
   Henry Braun, who had charge of the local electric plant, will remain here to have charge of the company's business in this vicinity.
   A storage battery charger has been installed in the John A. Pesch & Son's garage, where batteries may be left to be recharged. They also sell or exchange Gould batteries.
   Mr. Braun will give any desired information in regard to electric appliances, including motors, fans, flat irons, ranges, etc.
