exceptional talents to the. upbuilding of agricul

merous branches o farm life, not only in the state,
but nationally as well. His loss will be keenly fell
in those organizations to which he devoted mucb
of his time and to the host of friends who deeply
regret his passing in the prime of life.

O YOU REMEMBER THAT DATE? It marks an
event of interest and significance to every customer of
Pacinc Power & Light Company.
It was the day this Company was incorporated, the
day it officially began a development program which
has contributed tremendously to the electrical prog
ress of this region in the past 35 years !
On June 16, 1910, the scattered electric plants and
lines forming the nucleus of the Company's system
served fewer than 7,500 customers. Today, more than
76,000 homes, farms, businesses and industries in 21
Washington and Oregon counties receive low-cost,
modern electric service from PI'&L.
In 1910 only a handful of farms in the entire Pacific
Northwest had as much as bare electric lights. Today,
Pacific Power & Light Company alone serves more
than 13,000 of the nearly 100,000 electrified f urms in
Washington and Oregon.
When this Company started business 35 years ago,
It had only 388 miles of pole lines. Today, it operates
4,600 miles of lines enough to reach from As to via
to New York, and halfway back again.
On June 16, 1910, 59 communities in the Com
pany's present service area had no electric service
whatever. Perhaps a score of others had electricity
only from dusk to midnight. Today, all of these com
munities have 24-hour-a-day electric service !
In 1910, it was commonplace for isolated little
power systems to get 10, 15, or even as much as 25
cents a kilowatt-hour for the output of their uncertain
dynamos. Today, PP&L receives an average price of
only 1.88 cents a kilowatt-hour for residential service.
Thirty-five years ago, electric cooking was a new
fangled novelty, electric refrigerators were unknown,
radio was only the "buzz-buzz" of Marconi's "wire
less." Today, thanks to American business enterprise,
thousands of homes on the PP&L system enjoy the use
of electric ranges, automatic electric water heaters,
electric refrigerators, washers, ironers, vacuum clean
ers, and scores of other modern electrical comforts
and conveniences all for a few cents a day!
Yes, the 35 years from June 16, 1910, to June 16,
1945, have been years of swift, far-reaching progress
And the same road )"' on to aver-new horizons!
