Easy Street
(less work, more leisure in a modern home with natural gas)
Here are 5 reasons why
today’s families
choose
Gas-equipped homes
b CONVENIENCE—Modem gas appliances offer
all of the usual automatic features plus many
advantages that are gas exclusives.
2 . COMFORT—Gas heating, cooling and water
heating provide for year-’round, day and night
comfort.
3 . DEPENDABILITY — All gas appliances last
longer, need less service and fewer replacements.
And, the delivery of natural gas itself is more
dependable.
4. CLEANLINESS—Natural gas is as clean as
any fuel or energy you can buy. It is used by busi
ness and industry where cleanliness is essential.
5. ECONOMY—Gas appliances save you 25-50%
on your fuel bills. Longer equipment life and
reduced service and parts costs save you even
more.
When you build, buy or remodel — or purchase an
appliance—remember these five reasons why natural
gas is a better investment.
