All in all, there is no economical method of cooking than by gas.

Think what this means when the other advantages of gas cooking are considered.

The gas cooker saves work.

It is smoke-free and soot-free, and is easily cleaned in a few moments after use.

Gas cooking is healthy cooking. The greatest hospitals and hotels and world-famous cooks use gas, By the more turn of a tap the cook can get exactly the heat she needs. And finally Gas never fails.
