GAS COMPANIES
GAS HEATS BEST NOW COSTS LESS
LOWER COST EQUIPMENT
BETTER LIVING
Gas equipment costs less to buy, less to install and lasts twice as long as other automatic heating equipment. This means the cost of depreciation is cut in half.
Gas is immaculately clean, burns with no soot or film whatsoever. Cleaning bills in the house are reduced, and housekeeping chores are cut down. Gas heating equip- ment has no complicated moving parts to wear out or grow noisy. So completely automatic, you just set it and forget it - it even orders its own fuel.
DEPENDABILITY
Every minute of the day or night, no matter how severe the weather may be gas is delivered to your house by underground pipeline. In event of power failure, gas is the only automatic fuel that can continue to give heat.

You need it at your elbow at all times, to protect your company from forgers and bad-check artists. A few ques- tions, checked against City Directory information, will trip them at once. Intelligent use of the City Directory for this purpose has saved thousands of dollars and helped make some cities "too sharp" for bad-check "operators."
