As citizens of your community,
your State, and the Gulf South,
the employes of this Company
take an active interest in local -
civic affairs. They buy from
local gtores, pay taxes, and con-
tribute to worthwhile charities.
They are interested in the wel-
fare of the communities in
which they live.
The first duty of these employes
is to-help maintain Dependable
Natural Gas Service. In other
words, it is their job to see that
the people, through their local
Gas Companies, have the com-
forts and conveniences of this
modern fuel whenever they
want it. Above and beyond this,
our employes owe, and care-
fully discharge, their obliga-
tions to their own communities
—their home towns.
As our employes do, so do we as
a business institution—take a
direct interest in the life and
welfare of the communities of
which we are a part—“good
citizens wherever we serve,"
DEPENDABLE NATURAL GAS SERVICE DOESN’T JUST HAPPEN!
