GASOLINE IS LIQUID \\,s .X^vi-i. 1 * &JaEz Gasoline vapor is so highly explosive it has been aptly called liquid dynamite. Every year the losses of property and life testify to the gross carelessness of iiuli\ iduals around this most dangerous of fuels. The Ontario Fire Marshall has stated that anyone tak- ing an open (lame lamp or lantern near gasoline is trying to commit suicide! Don't drive a car, truck or tractor on the barn floor it is folly. Never use gasoline or kerosene to revive a fire. Don't use gasoline, benzene or other inflammable liquids for cleaning in the home. Never fill lamps, lanterns, stoves or heaters while they are burning. Gasoline kept in a building should he in an approved safety container, painted red and plainly marked GASO- LINE. Don't keep more than a gallon larger amounts should be stored in heavy drums at least 75 fee* from the nearest building. Be your own fire warden. Treat gasoline with all the respect with which you treat dynamite. It's dangerous stuff! THIS ADVERTISEMENT IS SPONSORED BY THE FOLLOWING COMPANIES: Farmers' Central Mutual Fire Insurance Co.
