HIS is no time to neglect thrift. It is no time
to waste money. You do neither when you heat
water by means of an Automatic Gas Water Heater.
After all, it is just plain arithmetic, being proved
in thousands of California homes, that you spend
to save when you have an Automatic installed*in
your home. Consider this: If you are using a water
heater that has to be lighted witha match, and you
also resort to a tea kettle of hot water, every gallon
so heated costs twice as much as it would if hot
water were always on tap. from the insulated tank
of an Automatic.
You should also investigate this form of saving
in your home. You should take advantage of the
low prices of these truly modern Automatic Water
Heaters. Prices have never been so low, and right
now special easy-to-purchase terms are in effect.
‘See a representative of this company
today or consult your local gas appliance dealer. An Automatic can
be purchased for as little as Three
Dollars a Month. Act now on this
thrift-wise suggestion.
