Destruction OF Property from
KEROSENE EXPLOSIONS.
PERKINS & HOUSES
NON EXPLOSIVE LAMP.


TaSlIE following is brief enumeration of
IL the truly superior qualities Of this Lamp
over all others:
1t is absolutely safe under all crcum
stances both from breakage and explosion;
it gives twice as much light from same sized
wick, and uses much less oil than any other
lamp in making the same amount OF light;
it is ornamental and durable; gives no odor
in burning, turned never 50 low; the sieadi
uess Of the fame is especially wonderful
and it is a successful rival Of gas at Il tritling
expense.
Read the following certificate from well
known aud influential citizens of our own
county.
NEW WINDSOR, CARROLL COUNTY, Mo-
JASuAEY goth, 1870
This to to certify that we have had in use
for some time, Perkins and Houses patent
non-explosiye Kerosene Lamps, and are wei
pleased with them, Us they give more light!
then tho glass lamps, and nOtsu liaOIe 10 smoke
the ehimugys
That we t.a,g believe they cannot be ex-
ploded By bagHiaE IN them Kerosene oil,
whether pare OF adu,erated, and being metallic
are not liable to break by careless handling.
That an examination Ol their construction, we
believe, will convince any unpreudiced mind
that they are perfectly safe, and as they can
now be had at a moderate price, We think
those who continue 10 use tho dangerous and
explosive glass lamps, would feel that they arc
responsible for the accidents and deaths caused
thereby.
