While You Rest

Do little thinking about
the cost of gas lighting and
cooking. With gas at SLIGO
per thousand, you get Ct feet
for one cent. You can get "a
candle power for five feet OF
gas properly burned in good
burner. This makes you a
tirst-class light of "a candle
power for five-siXths cents per
hour, Or light equal to an
average electric light for
about ! cent per hour. Again,
take an improved WeIsback
burner, consumes 3 feet per
hour, gives so candle power.
Just think, an so candle pow
err light for j cent per hour,
Ponder this over. 1t is the
cheapest artificial lighting
agent known. If you are not
convinced, call at the Gas Of
fee, 2713 Washington avenue,
and we will prove it to you.
AS to cooking, gas at 81 per
thousand is not half as eA-
pensive as coal at $3.50 per
ton, or wood even at the pres
ent prices Coal oil and gaso-
line are not to be mentioned
in the same week as gas for
cooking,and then the comfort,
cleanliness and efficiency. Call
at the Gas Office at your con-
venlence and we will take
pleasure in showing You the
benefits. Come whether YOU
have gas at present or not.
