Iflo Northwest. He came here
and took a war job in the »hlp-
yard*. The climate, scenery, and
business opportunities of this
arsa appealed to him so much
that he sent for his family, Mrs.
Brindley and a daughter,
Barbara, 13.
Mr. Brindley now has a part­
nership in one of the area’s
leading stationery stores, and the
family is generally enjoying the
Northwest. Mrs. Brindley likes
especially the low cost of elec­
tricity which she uses plentifully
with many appliances.
“In the PGE area, my electric
bill has averaged only $8.08 a
month,’’ she says. Back in Kok­
omo, Mrs. Brindley would have
paid $17.16 for the same electric
use—more than double the
amount she now pays.
