In 1920, for example, we supplied 82,000,000 kwh. Now our system is meeting an annual demand for more than seven times as much energy—630,000,000 kwh. We invested, altogether, about $28,500,000 in buying and building additions and im- proiementt to the original PP&L system so as to serve the growing needs of old customers and bring service to thousands of new ones. We spent an additional $3,450,000 on mainteiuHce work, to keep the generating plants, lines and other facilities in condi tion to furnish reliablt electric service at all times. Year by year, we extended our electric lines in rural areas, so that today there are 13,000 Washington and Oregon farms on • which PP&L electricity is a cheap and willing worker. We developed a time-tested organization of men who have the practical "know how” —the skill and experience—to keep things running smoothly. It's this ability that helps meet uartime problems today. An important part of our job was to de velop the use of more electrical appliances. With all our lines carrying more contin- uous loads, we could increase their output and give you the benefit of lower and lower costs. We cooperated with neighbor companies to exchange power between systems—and, working with them, perfected operating techniques that have proved invaluable to the present Northwest Power Pool. And throughout the years, as more cus tomers have used more electrical equip ment, we have been able to make one rate reduction after another. On the average, PP&L household rates have gone down more than 55% since 1920. DA. STRAM OPTOMETRIST “Enjoy Good Vision” IT IS A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT TO HAVE YOUR EYES EXAMINED PERIODICALLY. , . .
