VI IN PUBLIC SERVICE Since the early days of Queen Victoria's reign until the Coronation of King Geo Auckland — and to-day is ack for All Heating Purposes. The Auckland Gas Company Limited was established in the year 1862 and first supplied Gas to Auckland in 1865. Ten years later the output of Gas totalled about 1 7,000,000 cubic feet per year. TO-DAY 1,000,000,000 CUBIC FEET ARE SUPPLIED ANNUALLY! There are over 52,000 consumers. The Gas mains in the Auckland Gas area total 692 miles—— and that is 267 miles longer than the Main Trunk Railway line from Auckland to Wellington. These figures show the enormous growth of the Auckland Gas Industry—a growth which STEADILY CONTINUES MONTH BY MONTH, YEAR BY YEAR, The production and supply of Auckland's Gas also has far-reaching benefits to other industries—mining, shipping and transportation services, iron foundries and metal-working shops. Most of the Gas WaterHeaters are made in Auckland, and practically all Gas Cookers ai'e made in New Zealand. For 72 years Gas has proved itself a faithful servant in homes, hotels, restaurants, factories, workshops and many other industrial premises. It is the most reliable, economical, convenient and FLEXIBLE of all heating agents. WYNDHAM STREET - PITT STREET - AND BRANCHES
