THE I CHESTER UNITED GAS COMPANY. Attention is drawn to the advantages of GAS COOKERS. By their means Economy can be effected in three directions. SAVING IN FUEL. s used when required and not wasted, is cheaper than Coal for Cooking. LESS LOSS IN COOKING. 'rhere is considerable loss of weight in tbe pro- e88 of Cooking, particularly, in the case of all Etchers' Meat, but this loss is much less when a 0" Cooker is used than with a Coal Range. NO DIRT OR DUST. Great Economy is effected with a Gas Cooker on ^ount of the entire absence of all ashes and dust. A GAS COOKER is ready for use one minute after lighting up, and can be regulated any tttolllOllt to give whatover hot may be required. (OOKEKS ON QUABTERLY | I RENTALS, I FROM 1- P¡';1 QUARTER.
