Abstract:
On its golden anniversary, Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) recalls some of the whimsies of a half century. The author recalls some of CP&L's three, original, small holdings and its customer base of only 1,500. In addition to memories of a meager start, the company's half-century of records is recalled, including a service area of 30,000 square miles, and 403,000 customers.
