Absorption Process May

tho natural gas is forced up. The
natural gas coming out at the top is
practically without gasoline, while
the oil at the bottom has absorbed II.
Then by a simple process OF distilla'
ton the gasoline Is derived from the
oil, and the oil goes thru the same
operation again
And when the natural gas. bereft
OF the gasoline. is used by the house
holder, 1t Is maintained. it gives Just
as good light and just as much heat
as II would with the gasoline in H.
In fact. absorption OF the gasoline
makes the cooking gus so much
cheaper because II was the gasoline
that destroyed the rubber in the pipe
lines, caused gas leakages and raised
the operating costs.
The benefit is two.fold; cheaper
auto gas and cheaper cooking gas.
