Golden Business News
The Golden Fire Department posted this yesterday: Golden City Brewery is selling its Hatch Chili beer cans, a 16oz can 4 pack, for $14 and all $14 will go to the Golden Fire Foundation. The chili beer isn’t overly spicy, so it’s called “Where’s the Fire? GFD Put it out.” This is a limited time offer so stop by GCB soon!

Golden History Moment
90 Years Ago
The October 16, 1930 Colorado Transcript reported that “Nearly Five Hundred Attended the School of Electric Cookery.” For decades, the power company ran big ads encouraging people to go electric–they should buy electric appliances, heat with electricity, save money by using electricity.
In more recent decades, electricity has acquired a bad rap–it’s more expensive than natural gas for home heating, and our coal-burning power plants have been major polluters.
Interestingly, the pendulum is turning the other way now. For homes equipped with solar panels, electricity is once again “The Modern Fuel,” and “Your Biggest Bargain.”
Many thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts as well as the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
