MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. 16, 1880.
To whom it may concern:
The city of Milwaukee adopted the North
western Globe Gaslight company's burner in
the fall of 1877, after a thorough test, as being
the nearest perfect of any, and for the past wo
years they have given entire satisfaction,
and there are now in use in the city two hun
dred and fifty of their burners.
They give a clear. white brilliant light, and
we cheerfully recommend them to cities and
towns desiring their streets lighted in salts.

LA CROSSE, Aug. Z, 1880.
Northwestern Globe Gaslight company:
DEAR SIRs: The city of La Crosse for three
years past has had in use sixty of your gaso
line burners for street lighting. Recently ar
increase of thirty-6ve lights has been had
making ninety-fve in all. The light is pene-
trating. and of first quality, and gives the best
of satisfaction at all times, even when brought
in competition with gas light. It is cheap as
well as effective. The city will increase the
lights as necessity may require, as we believe,
after investigation, no other light of its quail
ty can be had at the same price. Yours, &C.,
j. W. LosnY,
Chairman committee on streets.

This certifes that the city of Minneapolis

the lanterns have been invariably kept in a
clean and orderly condition.

| The city of Dubuque. having used the lights
| of the Northwestern Globe Gaslight company
for the past three years, take pleasure in say
| ing that they have given entire satisfaction to
| our city; are not affected by any degree of
| cold weather, but give clear, white and bril-
| liant light under all circumstances, and I
| think am safe In saying that for street lights
we consider them fully equal to coal gas. We
have just made large increase in the number,
