Many people want to be tolled into heaven by taffy. How on earth can a man get away from himself and get a little rest? Always keep in mind that some where beyond the clouds the sun is shining.

It pays, besides it is not hard to do, for a married woman to make her husband believe that he knows almost everything. The good Lord must look, rather than listen, when some people sing.

Come. A Warning To our Customers: We believe, in the interest of comfort and safety, that all gas consumers should obtain some auxiliary means of heating, to be used in case of accident or necessity. The supply of gas is limited, and the market for gas almost unlimited. Shortage in gas may occur at any time, and it is much safer to have in your homes some fuel that can be used to prevent suffering, in case any shortage of gas occurs. We are informed that everything is being done which can be done, to provide a sufficient gas supply for cooking and incidental heating, and every reasonable effort will be put forth by our company to give you good service, but rather than have our customers suffer, in case of gas shortage, we strongly advise you all to provide some auxilliary fuel for heating, to be used in case of necessity.

Very truly yours, Richmond Princeton Gas Co. 2t By Chas. A. Loomis, Pres. J.
