Inventor of Individual Gas Plants,

Inventor of Individual Gas Plants.
Senator Q. S. Backus, of Brandon, who
has an extensive plant at that place
where his patent gas steam heaters and
other gas furniture are manufactured,
has just completed an individual gas
plant which will go far toward making
him independent of gas companies in
putting in his heaters and other furni-
ture. Mr.. Backus has been engaged in
the manufacture of his steam heaters,
which use gas for fuel, for years, but has
heretofore been confined to the compare
lively small number of places where gas
plants were in operation because his
heaters were useless without connections
with the gas tanks. For the last ten
years, however, he has been perfecting a
small machine which will provide gas
for individual houses in towns where
there is no gas company, and has now
succeeded in making continuance that
will not only do the work, but will do it
automatically, making the gas only when
it is wanted and remaining idle when its
services are not required, all without any
attention. This will tend to revolutionize
his business and allow gas fixtures to be
used in the most remote places.
