NOTICE
To Consumers of Natural Gas:

Notwithstanding the fact that the
cost of labor, fuel, clothing, food, and
even water, has been materially ad-
vanced, there has been no advance in
the price of natural gas in this COM
munity during the past IL years. The
Northwestern Ohio Naturali Gas Co.
has been engaged in the business of
producing and vending natural gas the
past 80 years. During that time the
stockholders have received less return
upon their money than though their
investment was in real estate mort
cages. and their principal investment
has always been in jeopardy. There
never has been a time when they could
dispose of their prosperity for a sum
as great as their investment. The
price of fuel for compressing our gas
has been advanced $75,000.00 per year
for the ensuing year; the price of pipe
has trebled; the price of labor very
materially advanced and the cost of
the gas in the field has advanced 3009o
during the past 10 years.
The franchise which we have in the
city of Toledo has no value, and we
could be summarily ordered out of the
City of Toledo or we could voluntarily
quit supplying natural gas; the only
real asset is the good will of our
patrons. To retain this is our reason
for making this frank statement.
The overhead cost per meter for
labor, repairs, bookkeeping, collecting.
taxes. compressing and delivering is
65c per meter per month. This is ex-
elusive of cost of gas. We have in round
figures 1900 families that pay us an
average of 35c per month for II
months in the year. We are furnish
ing these people 1000 feet of gas free
and giving them 30c per month for the
privilege of having them as consum-
ers. We have $500 families that pay
us 70c per month for II months in the
year. We furnish them 2 600 feet of
