THERESA WHOLE NEW LOOK AT

VALLEY GOLD MILK ITSELF.
Electric heating.
Gas heating.

Teed t
mand for energy, we need to get
the most from the amount we
consume every day. And a lot of
energy can be saved when you
use a naturalIgas system to neat
your home There's one impor-
tant reason why:
Central gas heating actual-
ly uses less natural gas than
electric home heating to perform
the same job.
Now, that may seem a bit
odd. But It’s easier to understand
when you realize that, in this part
of the country, a substantial
amount of natural gas Is used to
generate electricity And more
than half of the original energy in
gas is lost in the process
But. like all gas appliances,
gas home heating uses natural gas
directly and without conversion
Which brings 93% of the potential
energy in gas into your home
And that’s efficient.
It’s sd efficient. In fact, that
central gas heating can heat
220% more living space, per
square foot, than an electric
system using the same amount
of natural gas.
The point is, we should make
the most of what each form of
energy has to offer. Use gas for
heating your home Use it to dry
your clothes, to cook your food
and to heat your water.
Used wisely and efficiently,
this predous natural resource will
be around for a long, bng time
to come.
