Walbridge, vice president of the Southern California Edison company, that the company will discontinue the direct sale of electrical merchandise, including Mazda lamps, and will engage in a vigorous promotional campaign for sales through electrical dealers. "This change in the Edison company's merchandising policy is based mainly on the greatly accelerated interest in electrical labor saving devices during the war years, and the resultant increase in the number of electrical dealers," Mr. Walbridge said. "Because electricity has helped in so many ways to win the war, most people are more conscious of its conveniences and comforts than before the war, and a large backlog of purchasing power for electrical appliances has been stored up during the war years. This public interest has been equaled by that on the part of dealers in selling electrical equipment, to the point that today there is an adequate number of well qualified dealers to meet the sales needs of Edison customers." Therefore the decision has been made that the Edison company can be most effective in aiding the development of long term selling programs, working directly with dealers and distributors in this area in coordinating sales plans and promotional activities. These development programs will be directed by H. C. Rice, Edison company manager of domestic sales. "Experienced Edison men soon will be working with dealers." H. A.

These development programs will be directed by H. C. Rice, Edison company manager of domestic sales. “Experienced Edison men soon will be working with dealers, architects, builders and contractors to promote electric range and water heater sales, adequate wiring and better lighting.
