This Promises to Ec a ig Building
Year in La Grande
Scores of houses will be built for rent and for '
homes. A majority of the former, and prac
tically nine-tentbs of the latter will be lighted
by electricity. , :
ELECTRIC LIGHTS vJAk
are recognized as a necessity in all up-to-data
houses. But they are none the less essential in
older houses. Any competent electrician can
wire your house without defacing the walls or
causing you any inconvenience. You couldn rt
make a better investment from the standpoint
of comfort, safety and economy. Call, phone or
write for rates.
