Gas in Reading cheaper than ever.
The
and

1/10

PRICE has again been REDUCED,
is now only 2/3 per 1,000 c.ft.,
for gas used in G a s Engines.

A n up-to-date INVERTED BURNER DOES

NOT DISCOLOUR THE CEILING and gives
TEN TIM ES MORE LIGHT per c.ft. of gas
consumed than the old burner.

D r . W . A. A ik in , writing in the B ritish M edical
Journal,

says,

“ The

change of air which is

necessary in rooms is certainly retarded by the
absence of gas burners.”
W H A T D O CTO RS S A Y —At the Medical Congress
held in London in August, 1913. Dr. Wainwright re­
marked that “ A great deal of our eye trouble in modern
days was due to the irritating effects from electric light.”
Dr. Brindley James speaking from an experience of nearly
20 years as Medical Officer of a Training College said,
“ Since electricity has been substituted for gas the sight
of the students has been very much affected.”

SAVE YOUR EYES AND USE GAS LIGHTING.
