Green’s Fuel Gas Is Well Known Southern Product, One Os Most Respected In Nation Green’s Fuel was only a minor league business in 1932; today all of-Florida, and many sections of Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina are familiar with the well known trademark of Green’s Fuel Gay Service. The late J. R. Green, founder of this firm, was a heating and con tracting engineer who migrated to the west coast of Florida many years ago from Alabama. After settling in Sarasota, Florida, he spent much time in research for a better method of distributing what at that time was considered a waste product at the refinery. Back in those days hydro-carbon gases (now known by such names as bu tane and propane) were Bared at the refinery as a means of dispos ing of the product for which there was little known use. It is true that there were some bottle gas, or cylinder operations, particularly in the north but the consumption of this fuel by such firms was indeed a faction of the potential supply available. J. B. Green designed and engi neered an underground system which he subsequently patented in both the United States and Canada. This system was particularly es What’s In Store? Ily JOOX AYNES With Christmas approaching, it seemed to., me, I heard too many people talking about going out of town to do their shopping. It oc curred to me that possibly through a shopping column, the people of Edenton might find that their own shops have just what they are look ing for. It is my hope and intent that through this column I can help the merchants tell the people of their BEST LUCK AND GOOD WISHES TO WESTERN GAS SERVICE ON THEIR BIG OPENING WESTERN GAS SERVICE IS DEPENDABLE AND CAN BE RELIED UPON F<3R THE BEST POSSIBLE SERVICE PROVIDE THE COMFORT OF MOVING AIR FOR THIS SUMMER! «I REZNOR | GAS UNIT HEATERS g, Ttow- M » EQUIPPED WITH 4mSSSu& large volumes of air in summer use. f Write for Information i REZNOR MANUFACTURING CO.

Many people particularly in the towns and cities were attracted to this type of a gas-distributing system, preferring same to tanks being installed above ground on their premises. Today there are many underground sys tems made by steel fabricators and thousands of Green’s Fuel Systems and similar equipment have been installed throughout the nation. Above ground tanks and cylinders of various capacities are also in general use throughout the indus try today. There are many locali •ties where this type of installation is preferable. To gain a general idea of what liquefied petroleum gases are, a de scription of the producing oil well is necessary. Here a mixture of crude oil and wet gas flows from the underground reservoirs to the surface through a pipe. At the sur face the mixture is led into a gas trap, a separator, where the crude oil comes off the bottom and is pip ed to storage. The wet gas comes off the top and is piped to the gasoline absorp tion plant where the gas is run goods and also to help the custom ers to let the business people know what items they would lijce to find in town that are not available at present. Two incidents that happened this summer convinced me that it is not always necessary to spend gasoline money to shop. First, I had purchased a casual sports outfit to wear on vacation. I bought it at The Betty Shoppe. THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 18, 1956. I through an absorber in which the natural gasoline and liquefied pe troleum gas are removed from the bottom and the dry gas comes off the top. The absorbing medium is piped to a still where the combination of natural gasoline and liquefied pe troleum gas is boiled off. This substance is then piped to stabi lizing towers where the natural gasoline is removed from the bot tom as a finished product and a mixture of liquefied petroleum gas es is removed from the top. The top mixture is broken up into three parts . . . butane, iso-butane and propane. Green’s Fuel, either as a mix ture of butane with propane or when used as straight propane will vaporize at atmospheres lower than the surrounding environs and the vapors, piped to gas appliances and mixed with air, produce an in tense heat in combustion without giving off offensive odors or pois onous gases. “Convenience, economy, comfort and speed ... all four are realized when Green’s Fuel type of natural gas takes over,” says Mrs. Irene Dunbar, manager of the Western Gas Service. When we met my twin sister in Pennsylvania on the vacation, oddly enough, she had bought an identical outfit in Annapolis, Md. The only difference was that I had paid less for mine. Later in the "summer, I went to Baltimore to shop for materials to sew for fall and winter clothes. Upon returning to Edenton, I dis covered that Belk-Tyler’s carried the new Amertex cotton glitter ma terial at the same price I had gone to Baltimore to buy. Certainly Edenton does not have the wide range of selections that may be found in a large city, but when articles are reasonably on sale here, it does not seem neces-* sary to go away to shop. It’s hu man nature to find the other pas tures greener. Edenton people go to Norfolk to shop. Norfolk peo ple go to New York and New York ers go to Paris. The residents of Edenton have a right to complain in some cases that; “You can’t find anything in Edenton.” Shoes seem to be the item most needed that draw peo ple out of town to shop. And when they are buying shoes, they buy other things, too, which they might easily have secured in the home NOMINATED ON THE SAFETY TICKET...

Notions for sewing seem to be scarce although the 5 and 10c stores and the department stores seepi fairly well stocked. I know of one lady who went to Ahoskie to buy trousers for her boy because she could not find the kind with out straps for her youngster. And why doesn’t someone carry flannel lined jeans? Little things like that. Let me know what you’d like to find available and I’m sure the merchants will try to cooperate to have what you want. In some cases it has been the stores’ clerks who have driven the patrons to shop out of town. There is one woman who takes a size 12 who will not set foot in one of the local shops because a saleslady brought her a size 1 and seriously asked, “Do you think this will-be large enough?” Perhaps another sales clerk is to be credited for her unsophisticated naivete, but her lack of knowledge of the stock lost the sale. A young officer went to the crystal and glass section to buy a wedding present for a friend. He asked to see “old-fashioned” glasses. The clerk showed him some goblets say ing they were the oldest they car ried . . . that did not sell antiques. No one expects Edenton to be like Fifth Avenue or would want it that way, but I hope the stores and shoppers alike will help me help the business people sell their merchandise and bring to the at tention of the shop owners the wishes of the customer —who is al ways right.
