why do million women prefer gas? THAT gas is overwhelmingly popular for cooking, not only in New Zealand, but in the United States of America, the country where the most modern and labour-saving fuels are available, is evident from the figures given below: — In New Zealand ‘ Boat'd and Council,’ the Official Organ of The Municipal Association of New Zealand, etc., etc., of September I6th, 1931, published these figures:— “ Since 1929 the number of Gas Cookers in use has increased from 114,634 to 149,507, an increase of 34,873. By comparison, Electric Ranges have only increased in number for the same period from 20,254 to 33,998, an increase in favour of Gas of 21,129. " In the year 1929-30 for every 100 Electric Ranges installed there were 168 Gas Ranges. The year 1930-31 showed a still greater comparative gain for Gas Ranges, the proportionate increases being 237 Gas to each 100 Electric.’ In the United States The popularity of gas as a cooking fuel is a common experience throughout the world, and according to ‘ Mining and Metallurgy;’ the leading publication devoted to the enormous metal industries of America, official statistics disclosed that there were, in 1931, no'less than 15,000,000 Gas Cookers in use in the United States. The American Gas Association has made the following estimates of the number of homes in the country which use various fuels for cooking:— Fuel used. Homes. Gas ... 15,000,000 Coal and Wood ... 7,500,000 Electricity 900,000 The above figures are specially telling if it be borne in mind that gas can only be used by city dwellers where a Gas Works operates, whereas the other methods of cooking arc available throughout vast country areas, besides all cities and practically all small towns. The more you examine merits of Gas for cooking—jts speed, its safety, its dependability, and its economy—the more you will appreciate the reasons for the overwhelming preference for GAS FOR COOKING!
