OPA certificates for the purchase of gas Keat-
ing equipment are issued to those who can
qualify on a monthly quota basis by districts.
During winter months the number of applicants
whose need qualifies them for certificate
exceeds the quotas. During summertime, when
heat is not needed, the monthly quotas are not
used up. So we suggest to you who really
need heating equipment that now is the time
to buy. Circulating and room heaters are avail-
able for homes.
