To make Cheap Gas-light for
Country Homes

out extra Charge, whic; used any one Of these 70
Acelycnc Generators had found safe and effective
just as permitted houses to be piped for City Gas,
or wired for Electricity under proper eondhions;
Now the Insurance Companies ought to know
whether or not these 70 different makes OF Acetyene
Generators were absolutely Safe to use
Because they have to pay the bills It Fire or Ex-
poSior occurs from any one OF tile hceyiene Senef-
ators they authorize.
And, here's proof of their good judgment.
Though there are now Two Million people using
Acetyene Light in America, there have only been fow
Fires from It in one year, against 1906 Fires from
Kerosene and Gasoline.
There have also been 4Co1 Fires from Electricity,
1907 Fires from City Cas- and $40 Fires from Candles
Besides these there have been rs Fires from the
Suns rays But,-only four Fires from Acetylene.
That shows how careful the Insurance Board was
in its examination of Acetylene Generators, and IN
permitting only the 20 makes that were dbove sns-
teion out of the 600 experiments that were once on
the market
Well,-tic boom in Acetyene Lighting made loaer
Prices possible or the material 1t IS derived from VIZ
Calcium Carbide material that looks like Granite
but acts like Mag gic
Today, Acetylene Light is full third eheotey than
Kerosene Light, or Gasoline Light per Candle Power
1t is not more than holt the price OF Electric Light
nor three fowths that of City Gas.
II can't broir these statements to your full salts
factor, my name is not :Acetyenc Jones'"
But Acetylene is more than the safest and cheapest
Light of the year 1906
1t is also the IVhitesl Lig-the nearest to natural
Sunlight in health-gving Blue and Violet rays. and
because of this, with its freedom from flicker, it is
the easiest of all Artificial Light OH the Eyes.
1t is much like real Sunlight that it has made
plants grow 24 hours per day dark cellars where no
ray of Sunlight could reach them. 1t made them grow
ta,Iee as fest as similar plants that had only the Sum
light of daytime, viz. half the time.
That was proven by Cornell University in 4 three
months experiment made this very year.
Now. I've saved up for The last point more I'm
poriant 10 you than all the others ABOUT Acelyiene
Light
1t consumes only onr-foarh as much OF the vital
Oryeeu from the Air of Living rooms or bedrooms,
as either Kerosene or City Gas-Lght consumes.
That's tremendous difference in a lifetime, mark
you--threc -fourths of difference.
BecauSe,-Orygen is Life.
And every biz of Oxygen stolen from the lungs OF
Women, Children and Men, through Lighting, is
loss that can never be made good again.
"a Candle Power Acetylcne Light costs you only
,svo -ffths OF a cent per hour
That's about S5.S5 per year, if burned every night
in the year for four steady hours.
A Kerosene Lamp of equal capacity would cost you
a third more viz: thrcc-ffhs OF cent per hour for
Kerosene alonc. or S875 per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp chimneys, new
wicks. and the everlasting drudgery and danger OF
cleaning filing and trimming daily.
want to broac these figures to you, Reader II you
are a house-owler or storckeeper.
Tell me how many rooms you We got and II tell you
what it will cost to light them with brilliant beautiful,
Sanitary, eye-savng Acetylene. .. 81,
