LP Gas 75th anniversary: Top takeaways from 1941

February 1941 marked the very first issue of LP Gas magazine. Back then, the publication was known as LP-Gas Merchandising, published by Robbins Publishing Co. Inc. in combination with Gas Appliance Merchandising. The monthly magazine was “for all liquefied petroleum gas dealers and distributors,” and it cost $1.50 per year in the United States. To commemorate the magazine’s 75th anniversary in 2016, our editors will look back at 1941 and, in each issue this year, highlight notable topics in the propane industry at that time.
