It's Time for a Little Plain Talking . . .
We’d like to ask a simple question: If you bought your gro
ceries from a man who was enlarging his store, and that
man had borrowed money from his bank to finance the en
larging, would you pay your grocery bill at the, bank at the
end of the month?
We don’t think there are very many of you who would
expect to do business that way.
Yet there are still plenty of you who try to pay a light
bill in the REA office, instead of at the MEA headquarters
in the former postoffice building. You say you didn’t think
there “was any difference.”
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE — It’s the same difference as
your grocer borrowing money at the bank. He may owe your
banker money, but you don’t pay your food bill to the
banker or call up the bank and expect to get 10 pounds of
potatoes.
SO, LET’S' SAY IT AGAIN — YOUR
Matanuska Electric Association, Inc.
(Located in the former postoffice building)
is the place to pay your light bill, sign up for electricity, or
talk about plans for new line extensions
