ELECTRIC
LIGHT
AND
POWER
A talk with lis will convince you that ELECTRIC
LIGHT is the only light yon can uflord to use in your
home, or put in the house you are building. Your prop
erty will rent more readily, will pay n higher income,
and attract a better class of tenants IP IT IS EQUIPPED
WITH ELECTRIC LIGHT.
If you contemplate establishing any business requir
ing POWER, it will be to your advantage to talk with
tis before placing your orders for machinery.
The use of ELECTRIC jwwer means: Lesser cost
of o)eration, smaller amount of space required, and
great saving in machinery nnd initial cost of installation
of plant.
Advantages in the cost of prodttping power in Port
land, in comparison with other cities ol tiie country, en
able us to make lowest rates and give unequalled service.
