PERFECTION OF LIGHT.
No More Gas Explosions-Individ ual
Gas is Free From Such Horrors.
Z IL a Brilliant. steady, Honest and
Economical Light

There Is no argument advanced favOring
quickly reaches the heart Of the public.
nor which makes such lasting impress.
Ion, when demonstrated, as that Of econ
Omy.
In consequence, IL is the pie asurc and
aim Of the Nebraska Individual Gas Co.,
10 give few points in yindication Of their
assertion, that they can furnish the best
and most economic light with which the
public has rs yet become acquainted.
Perhaps no better argument could be
used but we do not stop here. Aside from
ecOnOr,y Independent Gas posscsse, other
advantages which 20 far toward making
1t the popular illuminant.
In the first place its name bears n point
TO be considered. individual or indiyidu.
ality- each consumer in having a separate
and entirely distinct plant, consisting OF
reservoir and meter, thus avoids the ne.
cessity Of any connection whatever with
street mains or pipes, as well as saving
Of Ofexpcnse.
pCOal gas, as those using il well know. is
more or less seriously affected by cold
weather, thus rendering am unreliable
and unsatisfactory illuminant during the
winter months, when 1t is most needed,
say nothing about the annoyance.
Here we have point which please note.
As n test or the ability Of Individual Gas to
Withstand the cold. we had the reservoirs
OF both our Office and warehouse placed on
the ro)f in bold relief, where for the past
30 days they have been subjected TO the Sc.
vercst Of tests, our light showing no signs
or variation or weakness.
II IL common thing to see once clear
and neat ceiling blackencd Immediately
over the gas fixture, or perhaps caused by
n smoking hanging lamp. II Is little
thing TO be sure, but how annoying to a
careful honsekeeper. individual Gas gives
apurc, clean, soft, and as white light us
could be desired. and is perfectly odorless.
The feeling against the regulation me.
ter has led us to desire simple, yet accu.
rate indicator, which any child can thor
Ouglly understand, thus reducing that
prejudice which has taken such root. We
read daily Of deaths caused by suff0catiOn
from escaping gas, or the careless use of
kerosene, and II comes home TO us. Why
not avoid sucli horrors! N, matter what
amount OF care is exercised, accidents will
occur, and 1t Is to lessen or remove all
chances Of anything Of the kind that we
subject to your inspection, our gas.
The positive shut Off on all gas burners
Is necessary TO extnguish the light prop.
erly, but let the light be eXtinguisllcd by
other means, blowing or going out on ac.
count Of II temporary insufficient supply,
and what Is the consequence--SufI SufI0catiOn,
or perchance exploSion-and the question
naturally arises, how is 1t with Individual
Gas.
Here we have our main argument:
We look after the reservoir and keep il
always supplied, thus relieving the con.
snmer Of fanyanroyance or care. From there
the gas flows to each and every burner, a
match Is applied, the heat generates the
gas which rises and ignites, therefore the
minute that heat i taken away, either by
accident or otherwise, the gas ceases ia
generate, hence though the burner be
turned on full head, no gas escapes.
No more practical illustration can be
gwen than TO call at our Office, where We
will he pleased to demonstrate ard explain
the workings Of our light and show the
comments OF those who are now using il,
