Canadian flag with the three

OCAL ADVERTISING
MR. BUSINESSMAN:
c‘
b. .
If you. 'don't know Bob Shrier, you should. Bob is the man behind all the Signal-
Star advertising. He writes close to one million lines bf local advertising and tries
to service over 100 local accounts. We say "tries to service"' as it is a' physical impos-
sibility to make more than .40 -calls a week. Maybe he doesn't call on -you as regular-
ly as you would like but he is always just a :phone call away.
•
Bob is a good man to know and consult on your advertising problems. He spent
12 years with• the Thomson newspapers .as an advertising representative and. as an
advertising manager. He has been thoroughly schooled in the preparation of ad-
vertising, and budgeting. His efforts can make your cash register ring more often
no matter what business you are in. Remember, people want advertising in their
newspapers. Surveys show that well over 80% of• readers want advertising in their
newspapers,, as compared with less than 70% for magazines and less than 40% for
radio and TV.
Thinking -of starting a regular - . newspaper ean'ipai ri? . Wily vol eonsilt _Bob;

Are you confused about home heating fuels? What with everybody
and his brother telling you how economical, convenient,'quiet and'
automatic his particular system is, you must feel like flying
south for the winter. But if you have to stay and face a cold, hard
winter, (like most of us) better read these cold, hard facts.
Wood and coal are probably the most economical 'fuels ,to�:,ay=-
. but they're also the least efficient. And sooner or later you'll get
tired of slaving over a 'dirty furnace= -then what?
You can choose between a liquid fuel or so-called "flamel'ess"
heating. Or natural gas. All of them claim to be the best. Who
should you believe? `
Initial installation costs -are' higher for liquid fuel equipment than
for gas. A gas unit has fewer ;moving parts, needs less maintenance ,
and therefore lasts longer.In order for "flameless" heating to
compete in operating cost, it requires extra -thick insulation
throughout the home.
If your• home had extra -thick insulation, no matter what kind of
heating system you use, you'd naturally cut fuel costs. With extra
insulation or normal insulation, a gas heating systemmmeans
lower fuel coats by'far.
You never have to order natural gas -,-it's always there.• A good,
old-fashioned Canadian snowstorm can't stop natural gas from
heating your home. Storms can stop trucks. They can also knock
out. power lines—and very often ,do, Unless you have your -own
generator, "flameless" heating can give you the cold, shoulder, just •
when you need a warm house. Let's_face it—nothing is as
dependable as natural gas.
With "flameless" heating, there are -no filters to replace. There
should be.. With this..kind,oisystem,_thexe_isli-tile air circulation;_
no way to pfey.ent; hot and cold "layers" of stale air from forming;
no way to remilve dust anddirt particles, from the air; no way
to control humidity. Wouldn't you rather have a heating system'
that took care of these vital functions—,even if it meant cleaning
a filter occasionally? .
When you get,right down to it,. modern automatic gas heating
has the edge in just about eery department. But if you're still not
'convinced, maybe this will help: if you install a gas conversion
burner in your •existing furnace now, or even install a brand-new
gas design,furnace--you pay absolutely nothing until next October.
What's more, we'll spread out -the cost of the installation in easy
monthly payments—over 5'years if need be. Unless you know
someone who'll chop your wood for free, you won't get a better,
deal than this -anywhere ! Why not make the switch to natural
gas heating right now. UNION GAS COMPANY
