HOT WATER
inSkNHkV
with an Il
Automatic
Gas Water
Heater

In sudden emergency, the doctor will
quite often say, Bring some hot water ...
quickly!'
Will you 60 downstairs, light an old
fashioned heater and wait for the water
to heat? Will you have time to put kettle
on the stove and wait, even that short time,
for enough water this way-or will you
have it at the turn of a tap with an auto
matte gas water heater?
Distressing emergencies give no warm
ing. But even without them, isn't it easier,
more satisfying, cheaper in the long run, to
have hot water on tap for every wish OF
need whenever you want it2
