WASHING DAY
Xot the least of the terrors of washing day is the task «t firing. Water at steady boiling point is a special aid to elcanl.v washing, and the ordinary means of stoking with wood or coal, or both', is not a light task. By the use
of gas, as set out in our advertising columns to-day. the trials and tribulations of washing day are turned into jovs and pleasures. There are not any smuts to soot the clothes, and m< cleaning of ashes or other super-im-posed work. With gas. the turn of a tap, the application ot a match, and all necessary heat is supplied. The setting of fires and early rising to
‘'get up steam,” are avoided. The gas boils the water without further attention, while the folk go about their household duties and nothing is delay, ed or need be neglected.
Gas helps to shorten the washing day very materially, yet doing the work of boiling more efficiently. Those
who have gas coppers are growing in number, which is an assurance that the value of gas for washing or for all heating purposes cannot be excelled. All information relating to gas appliances is obtainable from tin* Gas Company. or W. H. Shannon. P.ovell Street.
