TT IS NO LESS TRUE OF AN OR-
^ GANIZED BODY, THAN OF THE
INDIVIDUAL, THAT THE MEAS¬
URE OF EFFICIENCY IS DETER¬
MINED BY THE CAPABILITY
TO CONTEND SUCCESSFULLY
WITH SUDDEN AND UNEX¬
PECTED EMERGENCIES.
When property owners and tenants were unable
to obtain coal during the recent long period of
zero weather, we were called upon to furnish a
world record-breaking amount of Gas.
On February 5 last the output of Gas in Man¬
hattan, The Bronx and Long Island City was the
world record for twenty-four hours—
150,537,000 Cubic Feet
Gas Companies throughout the Country when drawn upon
heavily for a supply of Gas for Heating were compelled to
stop the sale of Gas Heaters and other Gas using appli¬
ances. Not so with us. We had prepared ourselves and
had a large stock of Gas Heaters on hand. When our
supply was nearly exhausted we went into the market
and purchased more—but only those of the highest
standard of malce.
Hundreds of thousands of persons depended upon Gas tor
Cooking and Heating. They could not be and were not
disappointed, for our immense manufacturing plants were
operated with the greatest efficiency. An emergency con¬
fronted us, and because ours is a real Public Service, we
successfully met it.
