Kftrw? mi soeae Questions
70ASKWU...
wYou serve 12,000
farms?
Everyone knows that it takes more
poles and wire to serve scattered
farms than it does to deliver elec
tricity in a city where you have a
customer every 50 feet or so. I'd
like to know how you manage to
make ends meet when so much of
your business is spread out thin?"
wYou've paid
10,000,000 taxes?
I've heard that Pacific Power &
Light Company has paid more than
$10,000,000 in taxes since 1910.
How can you do this and still have
rate-, that compare favorably vith
a whole lot of tax-free public
power systems?"
wAnd yet your rates
are 37 below
national average?
WE ANSWER X...a well-balanced, efficient system!
. . . run by an up-and-coming organization I'm proud to
belong to. It's true that Pacific Power & Light Company
operates mostly in small towns and out in the country,
and that it carries a whale of a big tax load. But you see,
our system is like a diversified farm. We serve a lot of
different types of electric users, and a variety of sea
sonal business, in 21 different counties in Washington
and Oregon. That means pretty steady sales of elec
tricity the year 'round for the system as a whole, even
though it's up and down in any one locality.
"Another thing, our Company has a big enough busi-
1 r y v
ness to keep a competent and experienced staff of full
time engineers and managers busy all the time, and yet
it's not too big to take a personal interest in your par
ticular problems. Also, we've got the kind of a market
ing organization that keeps building up electricity sale
so we can keep reducing the cost of each kilowatt
hour to you.
"What it boils down to is this: Pacific Power & Light
Company does an all-around good job at low-cost
because it's a successful American enterprise. And in thi
country, business success means giving the consumer
REAL VALUE for every dollar."
