Re-Electric Cooking
Mcili'oril, Ore, Noy. 0, 1915.
Dear ProspccliYc Custemer:
From tin historical description of great battles we find that it
has been customary for HOT1I sides to do more or less bombard
ing, but in this instance you seem to Iuiyo taken refuge in your
"bomb-proof" and we are the side that is wasting all the ammu
nition. If we could get si return volley from you occasionally it would
lessen the strain on our nerves, and give us some information as
regards your position.
Our ammunition is getting low and wo don't know whether
you are preparing to accept our terms of capitulation and permit,
us to place our flag (an Electric liitnge) behind your bulwarks of
defense, or whether you are "fixing bayonets" for a charge
against our strong arguments in favor of Electric Cooking super
iority. Since time was born two great elements, heat and cold, have
been battling for supremacy. Five veal's ago Heat retired within
the ininreirnable walls of an Electric Range and from this well
fortified position has successfully repelled all attacks and now
reigns there supreme.
Will you please advise us by telephone if we shall continue
the siege, or is the battle hopelesslv lost?
Awaiting with pleasure your bayonet thrust, we are,
Very truly yours,
California -Oregon Power Company
