"Would you like to know how much it will cost to have it connected, so that you can use Gas for cooking? We make no charge for the service pipe from the main in the street to the meter inside of your house. We charge only for the pipe from the meter to the range, and this charge is surprisingly small running from $1.00 to $3.50, depending upon whether a Gas Range has been used in the house before. If you have a Gas Range which you would like to use, we will be glad to give you an estimate of the cost for reconnection. However, if you desire to buy a new Gas Range, have our representative call on you with a catalogue and full particulars.

"The formal opening of Gary's havbor yesterday was Gary's greatest day. Never since the first shovelful of sand was dug from the sandy rim of south ern Lake Michigan years ago, has the community that there sprung up wit nessed such an event. By act of yesterday Gary was united to the great fresh water seas of America and even to the oceans of the world. With superb railroad facilities on one hand and on the other magnificent powers of water transportation, the "Magio City of Steel' yesterday became fully entitled to its name.
