:CHEAP GAS RATE
Extra—extra good news that is—came to
Drumright with the announcement ihat the Okla-
homa Utilities company has presented a iloW
schedule of gas rates for this city which 2-ives
Drumright the cheapest industrial gas in the state
The new rates afford I )iinuiht tit un-
precedented opportunity for securing new indus-
tries using the cheap gas rate as' an inducement
Considering that the rates of I he Lew
schedule are cheaper than those or Tulsa Okla-
homa City or any other city in the state Drinuright
should be able to make a tremendous gain in in-
dustries by properly advertising the new schedule
Cheap gas will cut the overhead of the
schools here more than GOO per year That is
only one instance of what the new and (heapest
gas rates in the state mean to industries
The people of Drumright congratulate the
Oklahoma Utility Co in giving us the cheap gas
rate offering great opportunities to manufacturers
of the world
