Philadelphia Electric Company Wheel Chart, ca. 1930s
In January 1934, the Philadelphia Electric Company (now PECO) was the first utility to license the Reddy Kilowatt character to promote electricity usage, according to Wikipedia. The early date may explain why Reddy's first name is misspelled as "Ready" on this advertising wheel chart, which demonstrates how far 5 cents worth of electricity goes in operating appliances like clocks, coffee percolators, and radios.
