! Local Firms Paruapate in Makmg va Homo for A E L.&P Co. Local firms and dealers were pat- ronized very liberally throughout the construction and completion of | the new home of the Alaska Elec- tric Light and Power Company as/ evidenced by the fact that all of the following had much to do with the completed picture: R. J. Sommers Construction Com-| pany, N. Lester Troast and Co., Architects; Allen Shattuck, Insur- ance; George M. Simpkins Co., Sta- tioners; Juneau Young Hardware Company, J. B. Burford & Co.| Shaw-Waiker desks and filing cab- inlets, Burroughs Office Machines, Smith-Corona typewriters; B. M. Behrends Bank and B. M. Beh- rends Co., Inc.; Thomas Hndwne‘ Company, Fred Wendt's Ideal Paint| Store, Krafft's Cabinet and Mill- 1 work, Juneau Motor Co., Juneau| and Douglas Telephone Company, Juneau Laundry, Harri Machine Shop, Ira Tucker, plumbing and heating contractor; George B. Rice, wholesale broker; Juneau Lumber Mills, Rice and Ahlers, sheet metal; Lu Liston, W. John Harr and various transfer and cab compan- ies. Much of the work was spread throughout the winter months of 1936 and 1937 and served in a r ure to reduce the number of un- employed in and around Juneau during this period. Consistent “Buy-At-Homer" John W. Jones, one of the own- ers of the Juneau Young Hardware Company said: “I believe that W. S. Pullen, of the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company, set a precedent in consistent home buy- ¢ the construction and |was carried out without a hitch and I can truthfully say that I consider our dealing a great pleas- fure with this progresme firm.” Light cnmnany - Now Serving Big Territory The territory served by the Alas- ka Electric Light and Power Com- p with power, light and ap- plance facilities, is much larger than is generally appreciated by the public, as it embraces Mendenhall River, Glacier Highway, Juneau, Douglas, Treadwell, Thane and many other suburban points. In speaking of the services rendered| by the “Light Company,” Mr. Pul-| len, General Manager, said: “For a public service corporation to ren-| der this community the dependable — power and light electrical current| offered them by us would require a| capital investment of approximate-| ly one million five hundred thou-| sand dollars, and I am not so sure| that in face of rising costs of ma-| terials and labor that final figure would be somewhat higher.” - e Blooming Coincidence NORMAN, Okla. — Flowers and Blossom respond to roll cal} daily in a University of Oklahoma botany class.
