As a boy, Harry Noble of San Augustine helped his father wire houses to receive electricity. About the conversion from kerosene lamps, he wrote: "Back then, people were used to filling their kerosene lamps, not turning on the electricity. One time, as Dad hooked a meter to a power line, the customer said to him, 'Harry, just fill that bowl (meter) halfway. If I like it, I'll have it filled next time.'" | Source: Rural Electrification Administration and Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library & MuseumDownload Original File
