Photograph (and 1 copy). Black and white photo showing two company officials who are attending the "Partners in Progress" dedication ceremony for the two recently completed power interconnections between the Detroit Edison Company and Ontario Hydro. One interconnection was made across the Detroit River between the Detroit Edison Delray electric power plant and the Ontario Hydro J. C. Keith Generating Station in Windsor, Ontario. The other interconnection was made across the St. Clair River between the Detroit Edison Marysville electric power plant and Ontario Hydro transmission lines located just south of Sarnia, Ontario. The ceremony was held on December 18, 1953, at the Marysville power plant. The two men who are shaking hands at the lectern are: Walker L. Cisler, President of Detroit Edison (left) and Robert H. Saunders, Chairman of Ontario Hydro (right). The unveiled "Partners in Progress" monument can be seen in the background.
