| -9ndreip's Sqtefy Lamps Messrs. Finn Il
Jackson have purchased the right for the man
ufacture and sale of Andrews Safety Lamp.
This lamp burns the common burning fluid sold
| 10y nearly all of our druggists and grocers.-
The light produced by it is clearer and brighter
| than that produced from the same fluid lamp,
while there is said to be saving of 25 per
cent. in the consumption of fluid. The bright
ness of the light is about equal to gas. There
| Is no smoke from it, and consequently mono
the offensive smell which often renders the
use of fluid In tho old lamps disagreeable.
But in addition to these advantages it is en-
tirely safe and will not explode--we have upset
and knocked 1t overturned il upside down
|
cannot be exploded from any accident of this
sort. The metal or glass of which 1t is COM
| posed does not get haated-consequently there
is no gas generated within the lamp to explode
such being the case the fluid cxtiaguishes
| the flame as soon as water when the lamp
| is upset. We have poured the fluid out
through the burner and in that way extin-
| guished the fame repeatedly. The improve
mont may b' easily applied to old lamps.
AS matter either Of interest or human
| ity, an | for tho safety of all who use Huid,
| we recommend the use of this lamp. As it is
the next thing to gas, our country friends and
those who live without the limits Of gas pipes
will no doubt find it just the thing they desire.
