DISCOVERY
The Gas Industry now offers you The New Thermal Storage Method of heating water. This bringa steaming hot water to every hot tap in your house, whenever you want it. And at a remarkably low cost.

It is so perfectly insulated that water once heated up loses hardly any heat. Therefore only a tiny glimmer of gas is needed to keep it steaming hot.
This new heater is automatic in action. There is not the slightest work to do. You'light it and leave it to look after itself, safe and certain, day and night. It turns up the gas when water needs heating, and turns it. down when the water is bot, You must learn more about this revolutionary discovery. Visit our showroom or write for further particulars.
