PERFECTION in LAMP OIL.—A PATENT.
CLARK'S PATENT SPERM OIL, only ss. per imperial
gallon, is bright as crystal in the coldest weather, and lasts longer
than real Sperm. It burns in all desciiptions of Argand Lamps. The
great expense of Sperm Oil, and the trouble of common oils, can now
be dispensed with at pleasure. It is admirably suited for Solar
Lamps, as they will not want cleaning for years, and being so pure,
four gallons go as far as five gallons of any common oils ; so, in
reality, Clark's Patent Sperm Oil is cheapest. Families laying in
their stock of Spermaceti or Wax Candles, Soaps, &c. &c., will
positively save 30 per cent. in their outlay. This is no fiction, and
this system of equitable charges the public will support.
Samples sent in London, and list of prices, with descriptton of the
patent article, sent on application to all parts of the world.
