Redi-Gas Service was located in Parkland at 14012 Pacific Ave and celebrated its grand opening in April, 1958. The company, with district manager Cleve Redig at the helm, sold bottled gas. The Parkland plant was one of ten retail outlets for the company in the Pacific Northwest. Propane gas was used for home, commercial and industrial purposes. It was easy to install for heating. No chimneys were necessary or complicated ductwork. Redi-Gas had a ten vehicle fleet with gas delivered in either bulk or cylinder form. Interestingly, 75% of poultry farmers used propane in running their businesses. Exterior view of Redi-Gas; a large lot makes parking simple for customers. The building is a modern glass and brick structure with walnut-faced plywood interiors. Douglas fir plywood panels were used in the gently arched roofline. The plant totaled 8000 square feet and included showrooms, general and adminstrative offices, warehouse and shop. Architects Swedberg and Anderson designed the project and it was built by Purvis Construction. Photograph ordered by Redi-Gas. (TNT 4-25-58, B-1,2)
