Every dollar that they have made is the result of render ing some kind of useful service in a manner that has resulted in profit. 1 heir success does n ot‘ represent « series of donation-campaigns and con sequently they know how to conserve and increase their hard-earned assets It is just as much an essential commodity as any other commodity re- quired in the operation of these institutions. Fashions in methods of its utilization may vary from time to time, but its usefulness and the need for it are basic We are in the business of manufacturing, selling and distributing this commodity. It is our business to furnish a never-failing supply of kilowatt- hours and to distribute them in the most efficient manner possible This it what constitutes servee. The best possble service at the lowest possible cost it our one aim, and we recognize that only by the accomplish- ment of this aim can we discharge our obligations to the individual and the community. SERVICE COMPANY (PEPCO) ELECTRIC BUILDING—Broadway and Alder— PORTLAND, OREGON Division Office« at Salem, Oregon City, Hillsboro, Gresham, St. Helens and St. Johns, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington THEM DAYS ARE GONE FOREVER A group of business engineers after studying and analyzing the require ments of a community can find many prospective avenues of legitimate en terprise that would afford our group employment and which could be well managed by those who have managed their own businesses successfully, pro viding they had the necessary capital to extend their operations. Here's where some of our professional pan handlers could be used. They are so clever in raising money purely through emotion and for some very useless and impractical purposes, that their ef forts, for once, could be concentrated on raising money for some very necessary and practical purposes They wouldn't even have to ask for dona tions, they could transfer a propor tionate share of ownership for each dollar secured. In time, the same dol lar would be returned many times over to its donor and the surplus could then be distributed voluntarily to the real worthy charities in our midst. What’s your opinion!
