consume each about 700 feet an hour
and there are other concerns drawing
their gas from the local plant that use
as much as 1000 feet ain hour.
These firms find 1t profitable to use
gas in such large quantities for the
reason that it gives them the advan-

with that of any other fuel they might

Gas is now used as a fuel In printing

fact, in every industry where the high

PURE ICE CREAM
KEYNOTE OF THIS
FIRMS SUCCESS
Walker & ,Messimer Follow High
Standard of Purity In
Their Product

One of the best known enterprises
in the city is the ice cream business
of Walker & Messimer, All N. Sec
ond street. This stand was estab-
lished about forty years ago, during
which time its ownership has twice
changed hands, the present firm ac-
quiring the business four years ago.
To the progressiveness of the firm
and the high quality of its product
must be credited the enviable patron
age which it now enjoys. Constantly
increasing trade has made necessary
the building of a larger and strictly
modern plant at the rear of 4O9 North
Second street, which property was re-
Gently purchased by Dean r. Walker,
a member of the Arm. The new plant
will be rushed to completion in order
to be ready for the usual summer
rush,
Only ingredients of absolutely un-
questioned purity are permitted to en-
ter the product of this firm, as q. re-
suit of which an unusually high grade
of ice cream and ices Is manufactured.
Not only is special attention devoted
to the retail trade, but this enterpris-
Ing firm also enjoys large wholesale
output to many local soda fountains.

Fourteenth Year Of Busi ness Which Has Enjoyed
Steady Growth

Forging ahead steadily and rapidly,
the Evans BURNETT Company marks
the fourteenth year of their exist
ence as one of the most successful
wholesale grocery firms In the State.
Started in Rink Building
Starting fourteen years ago in the
rink building in Chestnut street, now
occupied by the Central Automobile
company, the company was composed
Of Mahlon Evans and Charles w.
BURNETT.
For eight years, they conducted a
steadily increasing business, until the
quarters then occupied became SO
cramped and congested. that 1t was
decided upon to erect @ new building.
Work was accordingly started In the
Spring of 1908 on a large plot in
South Second street, measuring 210
feet by sixty feet, and before the next
winter, they were installed in their
new home. The building itself Is one
to be proud of. 1t is a three story
brick structure equipped with all the
modern conveniences of this business,
besides having $4,000 feet of floor
space which is entirely taken UP in

Rapid Growth of the Business
After the complete installation Of
the business, the increase In trade be-
came so great that extra employees
We're taken into service, and two largo
automobile trucks were added to the
delivery facilities. At the present time,
the company operates three large au-
tomobile trucks, and four teams.
Twenty-eight persons are employed in
addition to the road statesmen.
The Evans-Burtnett Company han
die only the highest grade goods, and
the assortment Is one of the best in
Central Pennsylvania. They have the
exclusive agency of many of the ma
tionally advertised foods and food
stuffs.
Their operations not only include
the city and immediate vicinity, but
also towns in a radius Of from ten to
seventy-five miles.
Their reputation for prompt and ef-
hcient service has won for them an
enviable name, and brought them an
ever increasing trade.

YEAR 1914 BRINGS
CITY CHEAPER GAS

| The opening of the year 1914
brought with it very welcome an
| nouncement by the Harrisburg Gas
| Company to the effect that henceforth
this city is to have dollar gas. Up to
that time the price had been $1.10.
| This reduction is expected to greatly
! increase the use of gas in the city, es-
/ pecially during the summer time for
fuel purposes
The gas company has been steadily
cutting rates for the past six or eight
| years, cutting down the price as rap
idly as increased consumption made
| a reduction possible. A year ago the
cost was reduced to large consumers,
! but they did not come under the head
of the 1914 decrease.
| Under the new rates all consumers
of gas UP to 10000 feet are charged 81
per 1000 cubic feet! for the next
10000 feet. 80 cents; for the next
$4,000 feet, 70 cents. This applies to
all city consumers. In the county
districts the rates are $1.05 per 1000
cubic feet UP to 10000 feet; 95 cents
for the next 10000, 85 cents for the
next 100000, and rs cents for all over
$4,000 feet
There is a minimum charge Of 80
cents per meter per month, owing to
the fact that over 5000 consumers
burn less than 80 cents worth a
month. This charge is made as low
as could be consistently done and
maintain the service. Elsewhere the
minimum charge is about SO cents a
month, and in some cases 81. Most
electric companies have a minimum
charge Of 81 per month.
sh Gas Ranges
/ 1t is a. comparativly few years but
nevertheless a long cry back in point
OF results since the old Harrisburg
Gas Company first attemptd to install
domestic and industrial gas operated
equipment in Harrisburg homes and
factories. The number of the con-
sumers was at that time extremely
limited and gas sold for just twice
what 1t brings to-day-S2 per 1000
cubic feet. 1t is interesting to note
in this respect that while the price
of coal has steadily Increased, the cost
of gas to the consumers has been cut
in half.
In 1883 the local gas company first
went into the business of selling gas
ranges for the home. 1t did total
business of exactly four ranges for
that year and congratulated itself
upon this as splendid achievement.
To-day, thirty-one years thereafter,
there are total of about $4,000
ranges served. with gas daily from
the Harrisburg plant, and while the
price of gas has gone down and the
service has been very much improved,
