Carburetted Water Gas of the same heating value as the ooke oven gas is being distributed now. Carburetted Water Gas is sold in practically all large cities and will give satisfactory service if the gas appliances ore properly adjusted for it. It is heavier than coke oven gas and requires less air for complete combustion; therefore, air shutters on stove and light burners should be adjusted as follows: * Close the shutter and test the flame. If it is yellow there is not enough air being admitted and the shutter should fc* opened farther. If it pops back there is too much air being admitted and the shutter should be closed slightly. ^ Perfect combustion is indicated by a sharp blue green flame. Gas lamps may be adjusted by closing the air porte and then turning on just enough to make the entire mantle a brilliant white. Try to adjust your own appliances, but If satisfactory results are not obtained call our office. ^gjyWesterr»Ur)ited Gas Eiectric Company •£;« f Z •d \ajivuif mm mi £TyOWER and dependability--Buk*k principles--characterize the new Buick Nineteen Twenty One Series as they have distinguished Buick can for two decades.
