Phone 133-J • ' I To Those Who , Plan to Build in 1923 ' REGARDLESS of what type of building you have in mind, one feature of this year's building situation is of special importance. ; This feature is the indication that 1923 will be an even bigger building year than 1922, Experts agree on this. •*' go also do we agree on roe indication that 1923 will see a general revival in all lines of business. General activity requires vast quantities of labor--of which there is no excess since immigration restrictions went into effect; and of transportation of which, because of the number of cars in bad order, there It also no surplus. In the summer and fall of 1922 with industrial prosperity only on the way a shortage of transportation facilities took place that seriously hampered the movement of building materials and therefofci^seriously delayed building plans. In 1923 with prosperity seemingly arrived and another big building year in prospect the congestion of summer and fall and possibly even late-spring can easily be imagined. The best way to beat this congestion is to get ahead of it by getting your plans ready now so that work can start the instant moderate weather arrives. While no one knows for certain what conditions will be in 1923 we are of the opinion that those who take advantage of the early-spring months will be mighty glad, later in the year, that they did so.

GA S is delivered as you use it, from an underground pipe, without dirt or trouble. The products of combustion--^ smoke, ashes, soot, etc.-- are left behind at the gas works. You buy only as much gas as you want for immediate use, and you pay for it after you use it, not before^ as with coal and wood. A gas range will do every thing a coal range will do and do it better, quicker, ^and in a far cleaner way. Its simmering burner, consuming only a little gas, gives e n o u g h h e a t to k e e p things warm at slight expense. After using the oven for roasting or baking, you can turn off the burners, or light the oven pilot, and still have enough heat to keep "a s e c o n d c o u r s e ' * warm until time to serve it. "Every day in every way" gas is the best fuel for cooking and heating. Western United Gas and Electric Co.
