| DESCRIPTION | Arizona Power Company and Prescott Gas and Electric, 109 North Cortez Street. The one day calendar reads March 28, 1916. The sign lists costs of operating various electric appliances, such as "El Grillo, Toast and Eggs 12 cents"; "El Tosto, 8 slices toast 12 cents"; "El Perco, 7 cups coffee 11 cents"; "El Chafo, Welch Rarebit 11 cents"; El Boilo, Heat Your Shaving Water 6 cents"; "El Stovo, 12 cents"; El Comfo, 1 cent"; "Curling Tong Heater 6 cents"; "El Teballo, 11 cents"; "Iron with a Hotpoint Iron 11 cents". At left, Robert C. "Bob" Connell, Jr., Foreman; center unknown; right, Adolf C. "Johnny" Johnson, Auditor. Charles P. Henry was the storekeeper and Frank Hood was the purchasing agent. Note the "partners desk" and the two men seated there, facing each other. On display are several types of light fixtures and light bulbs, a hot water heater, a gas stove and a vacuum cleaner. Small appliances such as toasters ("EL Tosto") and a waffle iron appear to be for sale as well as several lamps, including an Arts and Crafts style table lamp in the foreground. There is only one light fixture which is not for display high above the work area - not very good lighting for a power company. |
