Fluorescent Lighting Update At Valley State Bank
The Buzz column notes the bank installed three 200 watt fluorescent fixtures totaling 600 watts to replace 1,500 watts old fixtures. It claims the new system uses only slightly more current than a single 500 watt Mazda lamp previously, and forecasts savings but jokes at the arithmetic. It highlights Foppe Pioneer Store as an early local fluorescent lighting adopter. The column closes with reflections on newspaper life and a blizzard Armistice day week.
