When You
Go Out To
Fish

do you ever stop to think of
the women folks at home toll
ing away for your comfort?
They would probably like on
opportunity to go along, too,
sometimes. But there's the
fire to be kept going, oil or
coal stove to be cleaned and
attended to, lamps to be filled
and many other disagreeable
but necessary chores to be
done.
You have often regretted this
condition Of affairs, think
ing that there was no way
out of it.
With BLAU-GAS you would
overcome these troubles.
You could have your meals
prepared on a gas range, even
better than by coal or oil.
There would be no refilling
or cleaning, no disagreeable
odors about the house and
less trouble by far than your
present methods now entail.
With BLAU-GAS you would
have the best obtainable, light
in your camp.
You could use a water heater
or any gas appliance.
The women folks work lust
as hard as you do-often
harder.
1t is no more than fair that
they be given an opportunity
to enjoy the same pleasures
which you enjoy.
We'd be glad to show you
how this can be arranged ef-
fectively and at moderate
expense.
