"PP&L
vmg us
more and more for our money"
says J. A. Shupe, Northern Pacific Locomotive Engineer of Pasco, Wash.

If
Kearly 30 years ago, we bought one of the
very first electric ranges in Pasco. It was
so marvelous that the man who sold it to
us asked for a picture of our kitchen. Of
course, it was1 nothing like the modern elec
tric kitchen we have today but eight of
our friends went out and bought electric
ranges when they learned from us how easy
it was to cook with electricity.
"That was just a few years after PP&L
came to Pasco in 1910. Since then we have
added just about everything there is in the
way of household electric equipment. And
PP&L has been cutting the price of elec
tricity faster than we have been adding
new appliances, so that today service for
pur all-electric home costs us only b?.if t- e
amount we once paid to use our electric
range and a few lights."
J. A. Shupe, veteran railroad engineer, came to
Pasco from Kansas in 1904 to take a job as a fire
cleaner in the Pasco Northern Pacific roundhouse.
He became successively a fireman on a switch-yard
engine, freight engineer, and passenger engineer
and now pilots one of the big Class A-3 passenger
locomotives between Pasco and Spokane.
Mr. Shupe recalls the many advances in railroad
ing since he first went to work for Northern Pacific.
Trains are bigger, faster, safer; tracks are twice
as heavy; and steel construction has replaced wood
to make the cars bigger and stronger.
The first locomotive Mr, Shupe drove had an oil
head lamp and oil lamps in the cars. Now electric
ity not only lights the trains, but operates the
b'cc!: signals and handles many a difficult job that
v.z.:d to he done manually.
