Here’s to your HEALTH ...
An unusual kind of guard (without a gun) is con-
stantly on “watch'’ over your Dependable Natural
Gas Service.
Quietly through every night and every day, the load
dispatchers of this Company and associated Com-
panies marshal the Gas reserves throughout the
System to meet the demands of this area, whether
for a gigantic war plant or for domestic needs.
Nerve center of more than 3,300 miles of telephone
and telegraph lines and more than 6,000 miles of
pipe lines, the load dispatchers are only a small part
of the more than 3,000 skilled, experienced em-
ployes whose duty it is to keep the Gulf South’s
Natural Gas Service DEPENDABLE.
This dependability of Natural Gas is what makes it
such a valuable fuel for industry, either for war or
peacetime production, and it has meant much in
creating greater payrolls and greater war produc-
tion for the Gulf South.
