Every evening thousands of boys and girls stampede Gulf
South homes after a day of school and hard play. Waiting
for them is a good meal and a hot bath—two familiar insti-
tutions of American family life made easier and more con-
venient by natural gas service.
Gulf South residents prefer natural gas over any other fuel,
because it’s clean, gives instant heat and does all the big
jobs in the home for only a few cents a day.
Your Gas Dollar Goes Farther
Your gas bill is one of the smallest items in the family bud-
get. One reason this is so is because the gas companies
which produce, process and deliver your gas are engaged
in continuous exploration and research to give you the finest
possible service Gt the lowest possible cost.
