Many people in rural America lived that life until well into the 20th century. Having electricity is one thing; knowing how to use it is another. Most only received electricity by choosing to work together with their neighbors and participate in electrical cooperatives, or co-ops for short. By the 1920s most cities and towns in America received electricity from either privately owned or municipal utility companies. Running wires into the countryside where there might be only a few people per square mile seemed uneconomical for either investors or tax-payers. To help people learn the new technology, REA hired advisors like Louisan Mamer (1910-2005) from southern Illinois.
