The Gas War.

From ". Y. Commercial Times, Dec. Is, 1878.
The gas monopoly in the city of Brooklyn
has Of late been subjected to q severe rebuke
by the press Of that city, which has
unanimously declared war in favor Of a
long suffering people. Il has been as
sumed by the gas mouopolies of both New
York and Brooklyn that the people we've
indeed within their power, an assumption
based upon facts to great extent, aud 1t is
only of late that they have arrayed them
selves against further aggression, and in
such powerful shape that will no doubt be
remembered by those who are IN the wrong.
We now observe on every leading street
and avenue the substitution OF oil for gas,
which is proven to be far more satisfactory
than gas-frst, in an economical point of
view, and secondly, In the production of q
steadier and purer light.
The manufacture and refining Of oils for
Illuminating purposes have for years been
and hundreds of thousands of dollars have
been spent In the bringing to perfection Of
Illuminating oils. All this labor aud ex
pendituge of money has eliminated In the
production OF an oil that is proof against ex-
plosion. It has a fire test Of $50 degrees, is
water white and perfectly odorless, and is
properly named the Home Light OIL.
The gentlemen whose names head this
article no doubt have done good work,
and conferred great benefit on the public,
IN the production Of an Illuminating oil that
Is absolutely free from all danger.
We understand that although the Home
Light Oil has been before the public only
some four years, 1t has gained great favor
it is euperseding all other oils, and is being
extensively adopted Ia preference to gas In
both New York and Brooklyn.
IL Ia true that there are other oils in the
market besides the Home Light; It is also
true that one company does not furnish all
the gas, but rs the article OF gas from one
company is superior to another, so is the
Home Light OH superior 10 any oil placed
upon the market,
This statement may be regarded as a
verify. For four years 1t has been steadily
gaining favor, its reputation Is it's own,
based upon Its intrinsic merits, and so
rapidly has It worked its way IN public esti-
nation, that We unhesitatingly pronounce Ii
the finest Illuminating oil in the world. We
accept no ones say so, for this declaration,
we have given all the reputed oils fair and
ludicieus trial, and we pronounce the Home
Light Oh possessed OF better and clearer L.
Illuminating properties, entirely Invested OF
every thing that makes kerosene objection
able.
Now, that the great issue has taken place
between the people and the hydra-headed
gas monopoly, we enioin upon our readers
OF both cities, to test this compsratlyely
new claimant. We have taken the privilege
of usirg the name OF the firm, feeling as
sured that we should be coDferring a favor
upon many thousands, In pointing out who
and where the men could be found who are
stepping into the breach, and supplying
the wants OF those who can appreciate q
good thing, and who will not be forced to
pay for bad one. Let our people use the
Home Light OIL, and down with monopoly.
The Home Light OH has been tested and
approved by the New York Board Of Fire
Underwriters.
