SERVICE IMPROVED... ”Our small company wanted to give better service and bring down rates, but we didn’t have the money or the engineering help we needed. Then in June of 1910 Pacific Power & Light Company was organ ized and consolida:ed our small company with others like it into one unified system. It began building transmission lines auu modern power plants . . . and has kept it up ever since . . . until today it supplies every customer with metropolitan service. . FARMS ELECTRIFIED... “Back in 1910 electricity on the farm was almost unheard of. But it wasn’t long before Pacific Power # Light Company began building lines out into rural píreas. Every year these lines have been pushed out farther aod farther until now 11,500 farms are serswi by the Company, More Participate , In AAA Program / diol is on« of th« hondi«lt thing! the SeV eniy-eight per ce n t of the esifregis- n o n -resid en t m otor vehicles, tereo in O regon d u rin g th< m nth of Alpril cam e fro m Cal a iifo rn u , W ashington, Idaho, M ontana arm C anada, figures com piled in th«« se c re ta ry of s ta te ’s office revealed today.

RATES CUT... “Probably, though, the thing people like best about Pacific Power & Light Company in addition to service improvements is its polity of constantly reducing electric rates.
