Gas Appliances

The development in the use Of gas
in residences did not cease after the
invention of these most necessary ap-
pliances. Invention marched steadily
on until there is a gas appliance for
nearly every purpose, which gives
more convenience and more economy
than can be furnished by any other
form of heat or illuminant. Where
the housewife formerly used or 10
cents worth of fuel for her ironing.
she can do it with gas iron to-day
at cost of one-third of O. cent an
hour, or about / cent Tor the three
hours ironing. Thousands of these
gas irons are being used in the
homes of Harrisburg people with
more satisfactory results than were
obtainable in the days of the old flat
iron.
Coffee percolators, chafing dishes,
toasters. waffle irons, cake griddles
and variety of other small appli-
ances and accessories find their place
in modern Harrisburg residences.
Few residents would think of dis
continuing the use of gas for light
ing. Both the illuminant itself and
the lamps and fixtures used in con-
nection with 1t are deserving of the
term modern" The clear, white gas
light can be had from an incandescent
gas lamp at approximately one-third
of cent an hour. 1t is always neces-
sary to have a good gas light for read
ing and all close work. When the
modern type Of gas lamps are used the
consumer has the comfort of a light
that is restful and easy on the eyes.

Making Ice With the Gas
Flame

1t seems unbelievable that ice car
be made with a tiny gas flame. Yet
this is being done to-day. Small re-
frigerating plants are being placed in
a box-like arrangement. similar to an
ice chest, which are capable of keep
ing the temperature down as low as
zero. And there are small compart.
ments in which ice may be frozen fol
table use or for other purposes. These
little plants are proving economical
and may soon relieve the housewife
the hotel keeper and confectioner OF
their troubles with the iceman. Anoth-
er unusual invention recently placed
upon the market is the Ives Daylight
Producer Cabinet. Thousands OF
these little cabinets are being sold to
manufacturers of silk. cotton, woolen
and all other goods and textiles, to
merchants, haberdasheries, and all
other industries which find it neces-
ary to match colors. The cabinet is
arranged so that a strong gas light
Is passed through a series of screens
which eliminate all rays which are
not found in ordinary daylight. The
particular advantage of the cabinet
is that color matching may be done
accurately whatever the condition OF
ordinary light.

Heating Water With Gas

The success of the gas range, its
economy and satisfying results for
the housekeeper, opened new field
for gas as a fuel. The question now
was one of heating water economical
ly so the housewife could Danish for
ever the coal bucket, kindling box and
the ash pan. The gas circulating
water heater was soon developed to
fill this demand. and it has proved
especially adaptable because it can be
adjusted to the hot water tank form
erly used with q coal range
With this water heater the house,
keeper can heat enough water in a
few minutes for the dish washing, and
even enough for bath can be heat
ed for less than cents worth of
gas, and there is no bother with coal
fires.

minant, because it had been
sought for to fill that great void,
but other voids than darkness
have developed.
The cost of fuel and power has
opened new avenues for the econ
omical use of gas until it is in de-
mand in over a thousand differ
ent ways in the home, store and
factory. Gas is capable of effect
ing every branch Of home and in
dustrial life, and it is to the ad-
vantage of all who need light,
heat or power to understand the
many uses of gas.
So in this story we are going
to discuss some of the most vital
points and uses of gas and tell
how the Harrisburg Gas Com
pany handles the gas situation.

Gas in the Home

Gas is one of the most potent forces
In home life to-day. It's Importance as
home factor has been the result of
careful development, and the element
OF economy has been uppermost in the
minds of the scientists who have ef-
fected the many appliances and acces-
sories.
Convenience is only for those who
can afford 1t, is an often repeated
statement. There has never been a
doubt about the convenience of gas.
In every respect it overshadows the
appliances which were in use in the
home before 1t came.
For this reason gas appliances are
In demand in all branches of home
life as soon as they are ready for the
market.
The main concern of gas companies
and manufacturers of appliances was
that each and every appliance should
be more economical than it's less con-
venient competitors and economy has
been developed in practically every
appliance offered for use in the resi-
dence.

taken years ago. The invention OF
heaters, forges, etc.. has made gas
practically indispensable in many
manufacturing plants. This is especial
ly true where speed, economy and ac-
curacy of results are demanded. Many
Of the leading manufacturing plants
of the city either use gas as their
only fuel, or for the greater part OF
their work.
AS power for operating engines, gas
has especially proved its efficiency
Recent Developments in the construc-
ton of gas engines have made them
so economical in consumption and
SO reliable in operation that they are
fast replacing other engines.
For special application, gas seems
to have no limitations. New Industrial
fields are opening daily and gas com.
panies are being called upon con.
stantly to perfect the engine, specia
burners or heater to meet the de-
mand.
Steam in many manufacturing
plants must be kept going in sum-
mer when other demands upon the
pose a little gas heated steam boiler
from one-half horsepower to ten
horsepower is on the market. Many
trades have adopted these. Automo-
bile and repair shops use gas heated
steam boilers for vulcaniZing tires;
bakeries for steaming ovens and crust
ing bread; brewers and bottlers for
sterlizing bottles, pasteuriZing liquids,
distilling water; confectioners, for
cooking candies; cleaners and dyers
for heating benzine and drying rooms;
electrical goods manufacturers for
drying motor armatures; hat manu-
facturers for heating molds; jewellers
for baking enamel and cleaning
jewelry; laundries for heating mangles
and drying rooms; metal workers for
heating lye kettles, etc.; paper box
manufacturers and book binders for
heating glue; printers and newspa-
pers for matrix drying and restaur-
ants and hotels for heating steam
tables, etc.
The bakeries which furnish the city
with bread, cakes. pies, ETC., are de-
pendent upon gas bake ovens and
steaming tables. Leather goods and
shoe manufacturers are dependent
upon 1t for stamping, edging, etc.
Tailors in every part Of the city use
gas heated irons for pressing and
clothing manufacturers find a Hoff-
man Pressing Machine a decided ad-
vantage because of it's speed.
All textile manufacturers have
found gas the most desirable fuel for
singeing. Tinsmiths and sheet metal
workers use gas for soldering and
shaping parts. In all big machine
shops and paint shops paint burning
torches are used for removing paint.

|ficiency and broadened its service. At
all times the gas company has been
q moving spirit in the civic improve
ment of Harrisburg, and 1t has done
everything in it's power to help mako
Harrisburg grow.
In every respect the company has
attempted to cooperate with the city
government. During the last ten years
over seventy miles of streets have
been improved in Harrisburg. In orda
er that these streets might not be dis
turbed the company preceded the I'M

miles of mains in Harrisburg and sur

it was necessary for the company to
construct a new holder as the two
old holders could barely take care of
the consumption. When this Dues
ton confronted the company it was
thought best to install one immense
holder of 100000 cubic feet, be-

There was time, and not so
long ago, when the torch bearer
was as important as the taxicab
driver of to-day.
His torch light fitted about the
dark streets of city and town TO
light citizen and traveller on his
way.
Until century ago the torch
was a chief means of outdoor
Lighting and the bearer was a
necessary parsonage. But science
is cruel to the few and magnani-
nous to the multitude. A single
scientific discovery took the torch
from the hand of its bearer and
placed it back of the door to ac-
cumulate the evidences of disuse.
This scientific discovery was
gas. And gas was laughed at as
foolish fancy-something mere
ly to be played with for amuse-
ment. The torch bearer scoffed,
and the people believed he was
right in his scoffing.
Surely this parsonage of
thousands of years cannot be sup
planted now by a mere toy they
said.
That was century ago. Look
about you. 1t does not occur to
you. now to question the practic-
ability and economy of gas for
lighting the streets and the
houses.
Yet, no one could foresee what
you can see to-day, and you can
not foresee what the next gener-
alton will see, but do not take the
attitude of the torch bearer and
refuse to see what is actually at
hand.
Gas has experienced marvellous
development. When gas became
practical as an illuminant, it was
looked upon merely as an illu-

housekeeper and far more 80 for the
woman who had learned the best
methods of using the gas range.
The recent development of newer
and better types of ranges has given
gas still further advantages of econ
omy as cooking fuel. The SIM
plicity and convenience of these ranges
makes 1t possible for the housewife
to exercise many hints in saving. 1t
is not difficult to learn how to use
the gas range economically as it is
merely matter of cooking practical
ly everything In the baking and broil-
ing ovens while doing the baking,
broiling and roasting.
In its efforts to help the house
keeper to minimize her cooking fuel
cost, the Harrisburg Gas Company
maintains special corps of instruc-
tors who go to the residences of con-
sumers when requested and there
demonstrate the best and most econ
omical use of gas.

and lighted. and the water is heated
instantly as 1t passes through long
copper coil. The closing of the hot
water faucet instantly shuts off the
gas and expense stops.
The Harrisburg Gas Company, and
the water heater companies as we'll,
backs this heater with it's guaran-
tee. and what the company guaran-
tees, 1t makes satisfactory.
The economy and convenience of
this water heater has given it's extern
sive sales in all cities because hot
water is as necessary in the home as
heat, and 1t is a great convenience to
be able to get hot water instantly at
any time of the day or night without
the bother or worry of starting the
fire.

Gas is the most economical light

The gas arc gives an enormous vol

of this economy, gas is most general
