that il is one-half less
Baker & Parrott-We have only three
lights and they furnish our large room
with plenty of light The light is not
only sufficient but il is steady and sure
Before putting in the Welsbach lights
II required ten electric incandesent
lamps TO light our room, and between
the two lights there is no comparison.
The ten electric lights cost SO cents per
month each, or Sc, and the three gas
lamps last month cost Us, this you see
IS saving OF S. 70, the cost is about one
third, and the satisfaction OF the new
light is not to be compared, we are more
than satisfied with the change and want
no other. You cannot say too much
for the new lamps, both as to the light
given and and the saving in cost
I. Is. Glosser-I am using eight lamps
in my tailoring establishment and 1t Is
just the light for US. 1t is steady and
convenient, and we do not find ii neces-
sary 10 use all the lamps TO make our
store as light as day. If there is any
business that requires a good steady
light, II is in a tailoring establishment.
the new lamps are far ahead of any
thing We ever used. The cost is at
least one-half less than the electric
light, While the satisfaction given in
favor of the gas lamp as compared with
electric lamps cannot be estimated.
f. w. Swab-I am willing TO add my
endorsements to anything that has
been said in favor of the new gas
lamps furnished by Mr.. Sharpe. We
have four of these lights in our tall
orinS establishment, two in the sales
room and two in the work shop The
lights are steady and convenient, and
there IS no comparison TO be made be-
tween this light and the electric light
The Welsbach is as far ahead of the
.fKsis.
surpasses an old fashioned candle.
The cost is two-thirds less in favor OF
the gas lamp. II is far ahead OF any
lamp | have ever seen.
Noyes Dry Goods Cove have only
had the new lamps in for a week. The
subject of light has been a serious
problem with us. We have used the
electric lights but they are insufficient.
and the same was found with using the
gas jets We now have nine lamps in
use, and are well pleased with the light
furnished. OF course il is too soon for
us to give an intelligent interview as
to the difference in the cost Of the two,
or how long the lamps viii last, but
will say it is the first light we have had
in Wichita that has proved Satisfac-
tory. The light is good and steady and
we can see nothing in the way of them
becoming the light for dry goods
stores.
w. II. Stice-I am using five lamps
of the WelSbach patent as furnished
by the Wichita Gas Co. / find them
the best lights 1 have ever used and
besides their convenience, it is much
cheaper than either jets or incandes-
ent lamps.
Cyclone Notion Store-The new gas
lamps are just the thing for store.
We had ten lamps placed in our large
store room, but we do not find it neces-
sary TO use them all. The first even
ing We used them in our store room
here, / sent for my partner at En-
poria to come and see them. He did
SO and at once placed them in our
store at Emporia. We would not be
without them. We not only find them
to be the best lights We have ever used,
but they are the cheapest.
W. w. Pearce-They are the light
for a business such as that in which
we are engaged. The light is not in
furious to the eyes as is the case with
the brilliant glow of the arc light, but
it is soft and even more perfect than
daylight for detecting metals, preci-
Gus stones and jewels. 1t suits us and
we want no other.
l.. Vail have three lamps in my
residence, and would not be without
them. They cost less and the salts
faction they give is not to be compar-
ed with the gas jets of incandesent
lights. Ask any person who has the
Welsbach lamp in use and you Will
find nothing but words of praise.
4 3. Wright have only one lamp
in use but have ordered two more. The
lamp gives far the best and cieanest
light l have ever seen. 1t suits me to
a dot. and | give my hearty endorse
ment to the Welsbach incandesent gas
lamp.
L..
with big ID" / have not compared
the cost with former bills and cannot
speak as to its cheapness. but will say
that one of these lamps will give better
light than five gas jets or incandescent
lights
G. H POOL have three lamps III
my residence and will say that they
give perfect satisfaction. One lamp
will give more light than three gas
jets, and the light furnished should be
cheaper, but / have not examined last
months bills and cannot speak def
nitely on that point.
G. l.. Simm-I am we'll pleased with
the lamps now in use in my residence
and will say that they give perfect sat
isfactiOn. The lamp was everything
that was predicted by Mr.. Sharpe. and
should be cheaper. but ! have not ex-
amined last months bills, SO as to
make comparison of the actual cost.
Findlay Roswell, these Wesbach
incandescent gas lamps are ahead of
anything L have ever seen. L placed
one in my kitchen and that one lamp
alone sold at least thirty more for the
company II is the light for resi-
dence, and | cannot see why ii should
not be the thing for business houses.
r. V. Hewlirt-The Welsbach gas
lamp is the best | have ever used. 1
would say that the light furnished by
each lamp is equal to that given forth
by five ordinary gas jets Of incandes-
cent lights. / feel satisfied that the
cost will be less but as yet l have not
compared the bills.
r. Z. Vermillion-The light furnish
ed by the Welsbach gas lamp is all that
could be desired. and is equal to what
was promised by Mr. Sharpe. As to
the difference in cost / cannot speak, as
L have not examined the bills.
O. II. Bentley-The gas lamp is the
thing for me. The light is not only
steady, but soft and brilliant, and is
by far the best light | have ever used,
both for comfort and economy.
A. KatZ-The gas lamp is perfect in
every respect. No light as yet invent
ed equals it for brilliancy. / have com
pared my gas bill with neighborS who
use the gas Jet and find it saves mon
ey. 1t is the coming light for resi-
dences and business houses.
Maxwell & McClure-We are highly
pleased with the light furnished by the
Welsbach gas lamp. The light given
is the best in all respects Of any light
we have ever used II is BY far the
cheapest light given in the city 1t is
handy and always ready. BY the light
given thetexture and color OF clothes
can be seen readily. which Is almost
impossible with other lights. especially
