Whenever you buy soap nowadays, you pay considerably more than you did ten years ago. One part of cleanliness, however, actually costs you less. It's the gas to heat your water. While other prices rose, gas stayed down and remained your household bargain. Almost everything we buy has gone up, too. Our expenditures for materials, supplies, payrolls...even gas at the field...are the highest in our history. We have kept down the price you pay for gas as a result of 1) serving more gas to more people...60% more customers than ten years ago...and 2) constantly striving to find new ways to achieve greater efficiency and more economical operation. Just as low-cost gas has helped hold down your cost for hot water, so has it helped balance your budget for cooking, house heating and refrigeration. This economy...and superior performance in modern automatic appliances...is why all Southern California agrees that GAS HAS GOT IT! NOW MORE THAN EVER YOUR HOUSEHOLD BARGAIN IS GAS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS CO. SOUTHERN COUNTIES GAS CO. March of Dimes Day ELLO, MR.
