"J. P. Morgan, perhaps one of the most famous financiers, brought together my electric companies, and, in 1892, the General Electric Corporation was formed. I had run four thousand feet of wiring through Morgan's house to create the first-ever residence to be lit with electricity. This show-home sold electricity to the elite, and then, with power stations, the masses were connected. My power grid became the model for how electricity is transmitted in the United States."
