Natural gas is the greatest luxury
on earth, and it saves most of us lots
of money. But did you ever stop to
think how hard it hits some lines OF
business? There is the wood and coal
business, of course, to begin with. 1t
has killed that dead. And it has
hurt the stove trade nearly as badly,
for a stove lasts forever with gas for
fuel. Then there is the lamp trade,
going fast. And carpets and curtains
and wall paper, they all last several
years longer with gas than with soft
coal. And clothing ditto. And laun-
dry,-a man can wear a collar week
here land most of US do, and it will
not be as dirty as it would i'm a day
at Kansas City. so natural gas has
hurt some things. But hasn't it
helped others.
