POWER COMPANY STRATEGY
SHOULD NOT MISLEAD BUYERS

Prospective purchasers of electrical
quipment should not be misled by the
fact that many reliable and reputable
dealers in Imperial Valley are selling
electrical units on the new tricky South
ern Sierras Power Company contract.
That these concerns have been forced,
through competitive business practice,
10 handle merchandise on the contracts
does not mean that they personally rec
ommend them, nor that the contracts are
other than exceedingly dangerous. Buy
ers who fall for the enticing trms, must
bind themselves to the power company
for the period of the payments, regard
less of whether the purchase is made
direct through the power company or
through dealers.
The 80 or 90 per cent of valley people
who are the rank and file of hackers of
the districts power plan should not con-
denim dealers for handling sales on the
company contract basis. The dealers,
for the most part have been helpless
to avoid doing this The firms market
ing electrical equipment have been fore
ed to sell on this basis, we'll knowing
that private industry and enterprise
could not compete against terms and
payments which they know are imprac-
teal and unbusinesslike.
That the company policy is most
businessmen cknOwledge-unfair COM
petition, teStifies to the cOmpany's de-
sire for long term customers, rather
than any interest in either sales of mer-
chandise. or opening way for house
wives and families of all walks of life,
to benefit from cheap terms. The latter
high moral claim is only subterfuge
The company's interest is purely and
simply to bind customers to them and
embarrass the districts program.
Smart and wiley as is the power COM
pany strategy, we are confident of its
eventual failure.
The people know that the salvation
of Imperial Valley is in using the pro-
ceeds from power sale as payments on
the cost of the All American Canal
They are aware that in binding them
selves to use company power through
out the long term payments on refrlger-
ators, stoves, heaters and other appli-
ances, they would aid the power COM
pany to maintain its grip on this rich
and profitable Imperial Valley market.
The confidence in the perspicacity of
the people is we'll warranted by results.
Several leading dealers report that in
five out of six cases, buyers are turning
from the baited hook contract of the
company, and purchasing on the pay
ment plans provided by the dealers. AL
most universally the buyer perceives the
trap set for him or her, in the form of
the we'll obscured clause of the compa-
ny contract.
Buyers are finding that the difference
between company contracts and some of
the better dealer plans does not warrant
jeopardizing the peoples power pro-
gram.
We must acknowledge that the power
company trick was one of the smartest
we have heard of. The maneuver was
confined to the field of merchandising,
"a field in which the District was vir-
tually powerless to retaliate because
the district is not in the merchandising
business.
Imperial Valley, however, does not
expect to let the Power Company sue
ceed on this new front.
