L. H. Dollins—Covington.

This is pre-eminently the age of
electricity, and this subtle and powerful
force of nature is in always widening
circles being harnessed and utilized
in the service of and for the benefit
of mankind. Hence the expert electrician
is a man who ought to be given
a place on the roll of honor in the business
life of any community, for he
can do much to make things go round
and prosper. He is, as it were, the
life and soul in the realms of its mechanical
world where applied electrical
power plays the leading part. In and
around Charlottesville, Covington,
Albemarle and the counties adjoining
there is no more skilled and
able electrician, than Mr. L. Hall
Dollins who for seven years was connected
with the Electric Power Company
of Charlottesville, and now has
an office of his own in Covington,
making a specialty of the installation
of electric power plants both for motor
and lighting purposes. He has facilities

for undertaking and promptly executing
all contracts, large or small,
and all work done by him is guaranteed.
Mr. Dollins is a native of Charlottesville
and received his early education
at the local schools. After seven
years work in all the departments of
the electric plant here he established
himself one year ago in Covington.
