To Consumers of Gas

The Detroit City Gas Company wishes to call the
attention of the consumers of gas the following facts:
It is impossible at this time to buy high-grade gas
making coal
On account of embargoes placed by coal originating
railroads. the scarcity Of cars, and the unusual de
mand for coal it is almost impossible get any hind
of coal
Owing to the shortage of all kinds of fuel for domestic
use the householder is using gas for house and room
heating. This enormous and unusual demand, to-
gether with the very limited supply, of gas-makng
materials, makes it necessary for to ask you be
as economical possible in the of gas.
If each consumer of gas will bear this in mind and
assist in this way it may be the of keeping up
adequate supply of gas during this unheard-of and
trying period.
