REDUCTION IN PRICE OF GAS. rllE Directors ot the Gisborne Gas Company, Ltd., have pleasure in announcing that, from the Ist JANUARY, 1903, the Price of Gas for lighting purposes will be REDUCED by TENPENCE per thousand feet. With Gas at the Reduced rate, and with the marvellous results obtained from the Welsbach Burner, every house in Gisborne should adopt Gas for lighting purposes; and, in order to facilitate the fitting up of houses witli necessary piping, gaslittings, burners, etc., the 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 Illume nant, and that it will lead to such a development in its use as will enable i further substantial reduction in price to be made at an early date. A splendid assortment of GASFITTINGS is on view at the Company, s Offices, and inspection is invited.,
