Not Easy To Realize Accustomed as we are to the benefits of gas, it would be difficult for us to imagine what our lives would be if we were deprived of this means of saving labor and time, and equalizing temperatures so that cold, cheerless rooms are made cozy, and stifling kitchens become pleasant places in which to work. We are so used to dustless, odorless and safe kitchens and improved cookery, that many of us do not stop to consider that we owe these improved conditions to gas. tin As Important as K ->l| 3 B at,iroom /&T \T!
