THE WONDERS OF GAS
 What You Gan Do With Gas

Gas is ready any minute of the day or night, in any quantity and in any part of the house.. You don't have to car ry it about. No smoke, no ashes, no disagreeable odors, no heavy and clumsy. apparatus. and a gas company handy who will see that your appli- ances are working properly if you ask them to do so.
 You can cook with gas, heat water for washing, do the laundry work. light your house, take the chill from rooms on cold days; why, if you wanted to- you could have a gas engine pump the water for you if that was necessary,
 It would take a larger space than that occupied by this advertisement to enumerate all of the many things that may be done with gas, and as space is rather expensive, we would suggest that you call at our office and see for yourself how many things may be done. z
