Specimen Stock printed by Security Banknote Company. Available in Green, Blue or Brown. Please specify color. Pacific Power & Light was established in 1910 through the merger of several struggling utilities in Oregon and Washington, forming the Pacific Power & Light Company. Over time, it expanded to cover most of Oregon and parts of California, Washington, and Wyoming. In 1984, the company reorganized as a holding company, PacifiCorp, with its headquarters in Portland and Pacific Power as its primary subsidiary.

Utah Power and Light (UP&L) was created on September 6, 1912, from the merger of four electric companies in Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming, as a subsidiary of the Electric Bond and Share Company (EBASCO) of New York. Within four years, UP&L acquired 27 additional electric companies in the Utah area, eventually absorbing over 130. Notably, one of these companies had made Salt Lake City the fifth city in the world to have central station electricity in 1881. In 1954, Pacific Power & Light merged with the Mountain States Power Company, effectively doubling its service area. In 1961, it acquired the California Oregon Power Company, further extending its reach into southern Oregon and northern California.
