Description	The East Ohio Gas Company produced a company magazine titled The East Ohio News. The September 1951 issue is included here. The feature article is "Harnessing the Waters...Flood Control." This issue also includes gardening tips, fall recipes, company news, and employee activities. The 35-page publication measures 8.5" by 11" (22 by 28 cm). The East Ohio News began in June, 1946 as a monthly publication. In July, 1953 it went to bimonthly and in March, 1959 it went to quarterly. In February, 1963 the name changed to East Ohio Bulletin and in 1970 the name changed to The East Ohio Sunline. The East Ohio Gas Company was incorporated in 1898 as a marketing company for the National Transit Company, the natural gas arm of John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. The company launched its business by selling to consumers in northeast Ohio gas produced by another National Transit subsidiary, Hope Natural Gas Company. Rubber-manufacturing city Akron was the first to take advantage of the lower prices for natural gas. The East Ohio Gas Company next set its sights on Cleveland. Progressive mayor Tom L. Johnson considered natural gas a boon to the working people of Cleveland, and the city granted a franchise to the company in June 1902. Gas arrived in Cleveland via the East Ohio Gas Company on January 1, 1903. In 1908, the East Ohio Gas Company absorbed the Mahoning Gas Fuel Company in Youngstown, and built a gas line from Canton to the Youngstown and Warren areas. East Ohio Gas was the first company to import more-affordable natural gas into a region that had previously relied on costly manufactured gas. In 2000, the East Ohio Gas Company officially became the Dominion East Ohio Gas Company.
