SALE ENDS FEBRUARY 28 GRAND BEND 238-8240 " Don t worry. .with Jasper^ new cjas i/uster faaatet? 'therefe pleryfy -forestry bsdy.'' . ASPER used to have the same problem a lot of us have: too many people lined up for showers and not enough hot water to go around. Luckily, he got a new Gulfstream Natural Gas water heater a few days ago. The Bunny Rabbits told the Beaver who told the Fox who then told the Raccoon who passed it on to the Bighorn Sheep who couldn’t wait to tell the Cougar all about it, and the word spread to the Deer and the Wolves and now even Mr. Moose is in the know. Now, everybody knows there’s lots of hot water for everybody. Needless to say, Jasper is enjoying a new found popularity. And it is everyone’s considered opinion that he is one smart Bear. Because, you see, his new Gulfstream Natural Gas water heater heats up water a whole lot faster than his old electric one. Not only does it do all that, but it can also save a heavy hot water user like Jasper clear up to $100.00 a year on his energy bill. ' Imagine that! Now the Cubs have all the hot water they need to wash behind their ears and Jasper’s friends don’t have to worry about being last in line. It goes without saying that Jasper is very happy, indeed. As are all his furry friends. Anyway, why don’t you get a hold of your local plumbing contractor or your neigh­ bourhood Union Gas Appliance Centre and get yourself a new Gulfstream Natural Gas water heater. Whether you rent or buy... Gulfstream is a sure fire way to get your­ self into a lot of hot water. union ghs appliance centre v _ J) *
