GAS AIR CONDITIONING SAVES
MONEY AND HEADACHES
YEAR AFTER YEAR
You save in operating efficiency,
low maintenance, amaMigly
long service. Combined healing

substantially lower than for

Add to that the savings in
maintenance and electric com-
pressor replacements and you'll
see why gas is your best home
air conditioning investment,
LOW DOWN PAYMENT, AS
LITTLE AS J25/MO. FOR
2.8 TON UNIT
This new gas unit for medium
size homes both cools and heats
... puts the world's finest air
conditioning in reach of every
one.
NOW CAS UNITS CAN LAST
TWICE AS LONG AS ELECTRIC
Gas cooling for homes has ho

is the heart of the cooling cycle
SPECIAL SUMMER GAS
AIR CONDITIONING RATES
Owners of gas air conditioners
gel reduced gas rates for cool-
ing during the hot sunyner
