Looks pretty swell, doesn't it? The tempting roast. The
beautiful gas range. But, most of all, the way of living the
picture shows.
There's nothing here you can't have, no matter where you
live, lp-gas gives you every convenience. Automatic gas
cooking, for example, the easiest of all. It's fast, clean, cool
and dependable. Choose any size range you wish; it costs less
than automatic ranges using other fuels.
LP-GAS never fails, in good weather or bad. Depend on it all
through your home ... for refrigeration and home heating ...
for your water heater, clothes dryer, incinerator. You may
know it as bottled gas, tank gas, butane, propane, or by a
local trade name—they're all Liquefied Petroleum Gas. You
can store this fuel and always have plenty on hand. For
approved appliances and best service, see your LP-GAS dealer.
