Would you like cool, clean air

coming from this hot air register

all summer long?

It can, you know. All you do is add a Gas air conditioner

to your hot air heating system . . . and you're all set.

Cool, clean ait will circulate throughout every room

of your house . . . making your home a real retreat

in summer. A Gas air conditioner not only cools the

air, it dehumidifies it and removes dust and pollen,

too. And—unlike electric air conditioners—Gas, of

course, is economical to operate. A central electric

unit costs almost twice as much to operate as a Gas

air conditioner. And owners of Gas air conditioners

get a reduced summer rate on their entire Gas bill.

You really should investigate Gas air conditioning

for your home. It makes a world of difference

to live in an atmosphere that 's refreshing. See the

latest Gas air conditioners at heating contractor's or

Gas Company showrooms. Easy terms.

LIVE MODERN . . . FOR LESS . . . WITH GAS
