WINS THE
GAS FIGHT
Peoples Gas and Coke
Company to the Citi-
Zens of Los
Angeles

Various reports having been circu-
lated In this community that the Peo-
pies Gas e. Coke Co., which owns and
Is at present operating the latest or
New Lowe" Gas System in Los Ange-
les, is about to sell to another corpora
tion, It becomes necessary in protecting
It's own, and the interests of it's pres
ent consumers and those soon to be,
to enter a formal and emphatic denial
of the authenticity or truth of these
reports.
The Lowe system has been in actual
operation for four years and today a
large number of consumers are being
supplied with the best gas for light
ing and heating purposes furnished in
the United States.
During the winter. while people and
press of this city were criticising the
old gas company for it's failure to sup
ply its consumers with gas, the Peo-
pies Gas e. Coke Co. furnished its gas
for lighting and heating purposes with
out one single complaint, either as to
quality, quantity or service, being
made by q consumer.
Such appreciation of our product and
our service, to say nothing of our ef-
forts in the past to overcome seeming
ly 1nsurmountable obstacles, places
upon us the highest moral obligation
to continue to supply our present con-
sumers with such light and heat, and
as soon as money can do so, give every
consumer of gas in this city the pleas
ure Of being counted among the con-
sumers of Lowe Gas"
After four years of protracted litiga-
tion our right to furnish the inhabi-
tants of this city with the best gas
on earth, under the most improved
methods and with a never varying
pressure, was decided by the highest
courts Of this State and the United
States; the final decision having been
rendered by our supreme court Janu-
airy last. With the sincere welfare of
the people of this city at heart and
knowing that sooner or later right
must prevail we carried on this fight
| as best we could to O successful termi-
nation, confident in the belief that
capital would not be wanting at the
proper time.
And it is with sincere pleasure and
qualification that the Peoples Gas e.
Coke Co. announces to the people of
Los Angeles that 1t now has an abund-
ance of capital to give them the best
on earth, under the best possible serv-
Ice, just as fast as money can do it.
Men of brains and abundant capital
have seen and been convinced. And
with a plant in actual operation and
plans perfected for it's immediate en-
largemenI ana extension we can as
sure you that we will reach you all
in the shortest time possible. No one
| besides us can furnish you Lowe
| Cas-" as we own the exclusive right
to the patented process, and will fur
nish it for lighting and cooking pur-
poses, and heating of both large and
small buildings including churches,
school houses, etc., at a price which an
other company, operating, as it must,
under old methods, cannot possibly
| equal and live.
Other companies, real and prospect
i've, may impprtune you to sign long
time contracts. We are prepared tC
sign contracts specifying when delivery
of gas will be made, and what is more
to the point, deliver gas at the time
specified; and we simply ask, in con-
clusion, that you do nothing to en-
barrass you in becoming one of the
consumers Of Lowe Gas" when our
mains reach you in the near future,
and that you reserve your opinion of
our gas and our methods until you
have tried both. Yours sincerely,
PEOPLES GAS & COKE CO.,
