The Wilmington Coal and Gas Com
pany Dogs leave 10 announce to its many
customers that owing TO the reduced prizes
OF raw materials with improved meth
DDS OF manufacture, and III accordance
with Its long settled policy of reduction
all gas sold on and after October L. 1891,
Will be charged at 81. rs per thousand feet
subject to u discount for payment within
ten days of delivery OF bill OF 10 per cent.
mot ten cents per thousand, as hereto
fore making a net price of Si.l2h, which
is reduction OF 10 per cent. on former
prices. and Is believed TO be a lower rate
for good gas than ca he found in any CITY
OF this size similarly situated for obtain
ing coal and oil
Prompt collection OF our bills 10 ndvan-
tageous for our customers who save a
lessening Of bad debts, and wo urgently
desire all customers to avail themselves
OF the deduction offered.
Gas Mt our price is far cheaper and lrsa
troublesome than any other artificial
light, and when 1t ts remembered thItit Is
stored III large holders In great quantities,
ready for any emergency, and not liable
to failure OF supply by Academia 10
machinery. 1t should commend itself to
every prudent householder.
The use OF gas stoves. ranges and water
heaters lH greatly on the increase and meet
the marked approval of all using them
on account OF their convenience, comfort
and economy. For bath and other rooms
| that are scantily heated they are really
| luxury, rev minutes only being needed
to change a. chilly room into cheerful
and healthy one. For early breakfast they
cannot be too highly esteemed by belated
cooks and housewives.
| A gas stove with steam-heating attach
ment is now used most satisfactorily by
| Some of our patrons for parloEs, libra
/ fies, etc.
Tae advantages and safety over the dan
| gerotls oil stoves should give gus the pre-
| ference In all households.
l HE Use of gas for engines Ia largely
| the increase in other citie5 and IL should
be more used here, where It Is so cheap.
| Gas engines are now made as large as one
i hundred horse power and are said TO pos
/ sess great advantages. Toavoid the dust.
/, dirt and danger of steam boilers is sub
tect well worthyof consideration in large
/ communities.
i The lighting OF city residences on the
outside by yard lamfs is growing rapidly
| In favor and is great 8 tfety against bur-
glars and minor depredators, but what liz
still more iint ortant in this direction Ia 10
keep TWO or more lights burning In dwell
| ings all night, and every night, as IL is
| well known that such outlaws fear light
more than anything else. Two such lights
burning two feet per hour each would
| consume about eleven thousand feet per
year and would cost at our low price
about Si2 per annlm. and would surely BIO
worth tar more than that amount in
peace and comfort to timid families,
1t sometimes happens thut our cugto-
lnefs are not getting tho best results ON
| accounts OF dirty or bad burners, dull
| shades or Anticipated fixtures, and that
poor light and smoky ceilings follow. To
| any who are iHcommoded from this or
any other cause, we request that imme-
diate notice be sent to our Office. Third
| and Shipiey streets, by mail, telephone or
messenger.
The price of gas In this city IN 1864 was
$3.50 per Thousand. and by nine successive
| reductions has reached sl.1e4 per thous-
aud at this time With improyedap
zens, we hope still further reductions may
| he made in the future.
| We wish to sell the best gas Mt the low
| est price and to have 1t economically and
comfortably used by alhcu toners and II
they will report promptly all deficiencies.
| we Will do our part In having them cor
rectei.
