ADVANTAGES OF
ELECTRIC LIGHTS

are 50 apparent that we are almost
ashamed to talk about them. They
stick right out like the nose Of your
face, but, as Marcus Aurelius
might have said, if he had thought
Of it, If man blow not his own
horn, the same it shall not be
bowed" And our Office boy says
he'll be blowed if he can see why
we should hide our light under a
half bushel
Ro to save argument we are will
ing to admit that there is no light
that even approaches the electric
light in quantity of light radiated
all around the room.
The quality of the light you can
see for yourself. Electric lights
give strong, clear, vivid write
light. That is what is demanded
today, pure, white light and plenty
Of it.
If our points are not clear to you
it is undoubtedly due to the fact
that yonr light is poor. If you
will put in full equipment Of cleo
tric lighes the whole subject will be
made beautifully luminous and we
will have. peace in the family.
