neighbours a gas incinerator can raise both your morale and your popularity with your family and neighbours modern gas incinerators are the solution to a troublesome problem insta led in the house they eliminate all garbage and refuse worries no trips outside in stormy weather no temptation for dogs cats and ts no breeding grounds for insects and germs no unpleasant odours indoors or out and they dispose of ev erything from wet garbage to large bones and old shoes everything goes except cans and bottles the home owner who lightens the work load by installing a gat incinerator in the home
