Davis, Morgan Lewis. The gas offis, by the offis boy. $1. Broadway pub.
Dedicated “To everybody wot uses gas,” these observations of the gas company’s office boy will prove amusing reading for the gas burning public who will learn how the chronic kicker appears when viewed from inside, and of the many amusing devices to which human nature resorts to dodge or reduce the gas bill. It may even fulfill the pacific mission of rousing down-trodden customers to sympathize with an equally down-trodden head-bookkeeper.
