Here's what P.P.&L. customer M rs. Non-U Syverton says about electric living ...
"Electricity gives us more comfort and
convenience than anything else we buy"
With three youngsters in the family, a homemaker's time is
more precious fhn ever. It's really wonderful to have lots of
electric helpers . . . and believe me, we keep them busy. From
cooking, or mixing milkshakes for the children, to automatic
jobs like laundry, water heating and refrigeration, our electric
service is always working for us. When we consider how often
we use our 45 appliances we think our electric bill is our most
reasonable item of household expense."
like thpifflfa of other Pacific Power & light customers,
Mrs. Syvereon and her family live better because they make
gcoorous and effective use of modern electric service.
