REDUCTION IN PRICE OF GAS. ; BA HE Directors of the Gisborne Gas -L Company, Ltd., have pleasure in announcing that, from the Ist JANUARY, 1903, the Price of Gas for lighting purposes will be REDUCED by TIONPENCE per thousand feet. With Gas at the Reduced rate, and wilh the marvellous results obtained from the Welsbach Burner, every Ironic in Gisborne should adopt Gas for lighting purposes; and, in order to facilitate the fitting up of houses with necessary piping, gaslit-tings, burners, etc., tlie Company are prepared to undertake this work at COST PRICE, for Cash, or on EASY TIME PAYMENTS. It is hoped that this SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION in price, and the inexpensive and easy method of obtaining fittings', will render Gas still more acceptable to the Public as an Illuminaut, and that it will lead to such a development in its use as will enable a further substantial reduction in price to fie made at an early date. A splendid assortment of GASLITTINGS is on view at- the Company ,s Offices, and inspection is invited, ESTIMATES GIVEN FREE.
