In the early '70s, Columbia Gas of Maryland adopted the slogan "Gas Speaks for Itself." Columbia Gas bought advertising in the form of billboards all over the area. One of the billboards was in Cumberland, Maryland. It was a double billboard with the Columbia Gas ad on the left. Their competition, Potomac Edison Electric bought the right billboard panel for their ad. So people driving through the area saw something like: |----------------------------------| |------------------------------------| | | | | | GAS | | | | SPEAKS FOR ITSELF | | BOOM!!! | | | | | | | | | | Columbia Gas | | Potomac Edison | | of Maryland | | Electric | |__________________________________| |____________________________________| Remember, in those days, energy was cheap and competition was fierce...but I still chuckle when I think of it.
