always receive good gas service.
This means we are now preparing to
meet the demand for gas that will come

being used in greater quantities, and
how much gas will be needed.
That is one of the reasons why you are
receiving uninterrupted and satisfactory
gas service at the present time.
The people of Detroit enjoy gas
