That means that each day’s use of electricity added to the others, helps make a bigger bargain of the bill that comes at the end of the month. LIKE MONEY IN THE BANK And in the same way, if you reduce your use of electric service, with the idea of making a saving, you also sacri fice the best part of your bargain, for the reduction comes at the lowest rate you have earned. Idaho Power’s electric rates are among the lowest anywhere in the nation, and rates have been reduced 21 times since 1927. The people of southern Idaho and eastern Oregon have taken full advantage of the privileges of Cheap Electricity, for they use more elec tric service than almost any other group. Use your electric service freely. It’s a bargain that grows better as you buy more of it. PROPER INSURANCE PROTECTION Assures you of money when you need it the most.
