the PP&L system.
AND THEN comes the big-value quantity-discount rate of
only dlOc per KWH for the next 600 KWH! That brings you'

needs to operate its electrical appliances range, water heater,
refrigerator, home freezer, radios, small appliances, domestic water
system, and plenty of good light for all the family.
