Tank Gas Supply. A service of supplying 

 compressed gas in portable tanks has recently 

 been developed for country homes located away 

 from public gas lines. This gas can be used 

 either with a specially adapted range which is 

 supplied as part of the service or in some cases 

 with an ordinary gas range. Companies offering 

 this service are located in most cities and are 

 understood to be willing to supply residences 

 anywhere with gas. The cost of first installation 

 of the system is about $40. Renewals cost 

 approximately $12 per cylinder of gas. Each 

 cylinder will supply a family of four with gas 

 for three to four months, making a monthly 

 bill of from $3 to $4, which compares favorably 

 with artificial gas supply through a meter from 

 pipe lines. This gas may be used for any purpose 

 for which any other gas is adapted. The gas and 

 the servicing of it constitute a boon to country 

 residents from the standpoint of utility and 

 economy. It is especially desirable for those 

 previously accustomed to city gas supplies and to 

 whom the use of any other type of fuel is strange 

 and somewhat of a problem.
