We Have For Sale A SOLUTION of FARM PROBLEMS It is frequently said that “we must find some way to keep folks on the farms.” If we are to keep folks on the farm we must make farm life quite as comfortable as life in the city. The farmer, his wife and children, have become too well educated to put up with the farm life of fifty years ago. Electricity will give them the comforts they demand. This, however, is only part of the story. The farmer now insists that his farm be prosperous. A farm can be made prosperous if it is operated along the lines of a manufacturing industry. Electric power makes this possible. Have you ever heard of an electrified farm that was not prosperous? We haven’t. STORE ()PEI;«' EVENINGS TILL CHRISTMAS Alaska Electric hght & Power Co.
