OUR TAXES IN 1943 reached an all-time high of >1,313,000. W e paid back to the public, in the form of taxes, almost as much as was paid to all the men and women who have invested their money in the development of this business. We’re proud of the fact that in 1943 PP&L met fully the electric service needs of our ill,365 customers in the two great states of Washington and Oregon. We’re proud of the 743 men and women of the PP&L organiza tion who managed to keep your electric service running smooth ly and dependably throughout 1943 in spite of wartime problems. We’re proud of the 112 PP&L men and women who are away in the service of their country—<nd we pledge ourselves to Rfcep right on working and fighting to preserve for them at home the freedom and opportunity they are fighting, for overseas. t AZ44 rS L U l B3 17’/ i CENTS out of every dollar we take in now goes for taxes—yet w e’re selling electricity at the lowest price in the 33 years w e’ve been build ing up this business enterprise.
