Natural Gas
Has Taken a Dominant Place in Industry
As a fuel, Natural Gas is increasing in demand. In many industrial
processes is is indispensible. It’s chief advantages in the latter respect
are its instant availability, perfect cotrol of temperature, absence of stor
age space, freedom from smoke, soot or ashes and ease in figuring fuel costs
The Natural Gas industry has been the one bright spot in the gloom
of the present depression. It has provided the Steel Mills, that are capable of
handling large pipe, with work that has kept them running day and night.
It has provided employment to thousands of men who otherwise would have
swelled the ranks of the unemployed.

thousand five hundred miles in
length, with a net-work of feeders extending from Sarnia and Windsor
on the west to as far east as Hamilton, St. Catherines and Niagara Falls is
to-day supplying hundreds of Cities and Towns in South-Western Ontario.
The demand is greater than the supply.
The Domestic Gas Syndicate has 429 acres in the Haldimand Field,
the most popular productive field with Natural Gas operations at the present
time. This property is situated on a virgin strip of land running be
tween two productive areas. In view of the fact that good and profitable
production was obtained on both sides of this block, and the block itself has
not been tapped, good wells can reasonably be expected.
The record of the Haldimand Field is history, millions has been
made out of Natural Gas from this field and the possibilities of t!he future
are just as encouraging. The largest profits in Natural Gas, Gold, etc. are
made before things have been extensively developed. Not after.
The first 5,000 units in the Do mestic Gas Syndicate, with a par value
of $2.50, are now being offered at $1.00. They are rapidly being taken up.
