[D8943AAM], Letter from William Preston Hix to Thomas Alva Edison, November 13th, 1889
Editor's Notes
[TAE marg: "Plenty of money at these rates--E" ## Dear Edison,####I have just returned from Pittsburg where I have made arrangements to form a company of $500,000 capital we put in no money, but get 30% for our patents and return to them 15%. I send you the enclosed to show you what prices our opponents are getting. They use meters and run their lamps at greater inccandescence than we do. They ---- a continuous current system for power. Coal is very cheap and gas sells at 75 cents per ----####I think our company there can make money. I haave started this City on the danger of alternating systems and out friends then will keep it up. Return these printed circulars to me.
