C. Gentlemen: Last year I purchased a home from you, located at 2615 Otis Street N.E., and which has proved to be entirely satisfactory in every particular. I held off considerable length of time before purchasing, although I liked the house very much, because I was somewhat afraid the cost of the gas heat would be too high. . I have now lived in this home three full months and have paid a total of $36.18 for heat, an average of $12.06 per month. During this time the house has been kept on a temperature of seventy degrees. . One of the other fine features of this heat is the quickness the heat is received after turning on the gas. There is no wait for hot water to be heated. The heat starts pouring out instantly. I am in no way selling houses and this letter is entirely unsolicited. Yours very truly, fzfim Breuninger & Phifer entered a new field when they opened their first Health Home at 2615 Otis Street N.E., in Woodridge. They installed an air-condition- ing unit, operated by gas, which cleans and humidifies the air, heats it to the proper temperature and gently circulates it to every part of the house.
