IT ALL SEEMS so simple. A button pressed a switch turned 'and then: dark corners gone, hours utilized, beauty en joyed, fortunes made, lives saved. DO YOUR THOUGHTS ever go behind those words? Do they cyer go back to the giant water or steam turbines, or back to the throbbing engines, generators, high tension trans . mission lines and the innumerable smaller wires, all of which, in a sort of endless chain, link up with your individ . ual electric light? ELECTRICITY is furnished you by the Eastern Oregon Light and Power company, every, employee of which has some definite duty which affects your service. Every employee is faithfully performing lhat duty so that you may say at any time "Turn on the Light."

PROPER ELECTRIC LIGHTING IS A SCIENTIFIC QUESTION THIS COMPANY is equipped with facilities for giving you this service. We have trained men -who will be glad to talk over your lighting problems in factory, business or home. TAKE ADVANTAGE of this service. Perhaps you are losing business by poor lighting.
