"Glad to Get It at Any Price" * As we close the door of 1925 and step across the threshold of a new year let's pause for a moment and think how times are improving, in the matter of the ga# rates, for instance. } Sixty years ago, in certain districts, housewives considered gas service cheap at $4.25 a thousand feet, including a war tax. For years before that, gas had been so much more expensive that folks declared it would never be anything but a rich man's fad. Today, you see the almost universal Wfe of gas. For cooking alone, it requires seven million gas appliances to prepare the nation's daily food. Gas is «heap«r on t^e whole, better regulated, more helpful, more widely used thaiu&t any time in history. WESTERN UNITED GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY 0. E. Collins, .
