s an incentive for Canadian home-

Government has introduced the Canada
Oil Substitution Program.
C.O. S. P. will pay 50% of the cost of con-
version from oil heating to natural gs,
to a maximum grant of $800.
We think natural gas is
worth your serious considera-
tion, but not just because it's
our business at Union Gas.
Consider:
Natural gas is, still the most
economical way to heat your home, and
it looks as if it will remain so in the fore-
seeable future.
Natural gas burns much cleaner than
oil, resulting in a cleaner home and mini-
mal furnace maintenance.
Natural gas is in abundant supply.
Conservative estimates of proven, market-
-1=111 •
�� —ter-
able reserves in Canada are over 32 times
our annual national consumption, and
more gas is being found all the time.
Another benefit of natural gas is its
simple, reliable, weather-proof delivery
system; after leaving the well, it is stripped
of impurities, odorized, then
piped directly to your home.
We at Union Gas offer a
complete range of natural gas
home heating options, one
of which is sure to meet your
needs. Convert soon and
beat the November cold.
