&Us pioneering has figured
e success of my shop"
in th
. . says Clayton Speck, Automobile
Deafer in Sunnyside, Washington
"When I first started in the automobile
. business, I ran a blacksmith shop along with
it for bread and butter, and was lucky to
. have a single electric motor and four
32-candlepower carbon filament lamps. I
shod horses by the light of one of the lamps,
pumped tires by hand, and delivered gaso
line from a measuring , can filled from a
pitcher pump. That was 33 years ago.
- "Today, thanks to PP&L's progressive
ness, we use more than 30 electric motors,
and light the shop as bright as day. And ve
get all this electricity at a small fraction of
the cost per kilowatt-hour 33 years ago.
"In this great farming territory that ships
600,000 tons of food to market every year,
it's our job to keep farm machinery and
trucks repaired and on the go. And we're
doing it, with electric power tools and
PP&L's dependable electric service.
"Pacific Power & Light Company has
played a big part in development of the
Yakima Valley. Its forward-looking poli
cies, good service, and reasonable rates have
helped a lot in getting the new businesses
and food processing industries that are lo
cating in this area."
Clayton Speck, owner and manager of Claytori
Speck Motors, has been identified with business
activity in Sunnyside since 1909, and with the
automobile business since 1911.
A native of Lenark, Illinois, he was working for;
the Milwaukie Railroad in Chicago when he came
to Sunnyside on a vacation trip in 1909. He saw
the promise in the Yakima Valley, resigned his
railroad job, collected a month's pay of $80, and
staked his future on the development of the Sunny
side district.
When he established his own automobile busi
ness, in 1912, there were only about 30 cars in the
entire lower Yakima Valley. In 1936 he built his
own modern garage building and completely equip
ped it with electric power tools. Much of his elec
trical equipment has been busy during the war,
machining valve fittings for Liberty ships.
The Speck home makes generous use of electric
ity, too. Their first electric range was bought in
1912. And they have had electric refrigeration
since 1924.
