out extra charge, which used any one Of these 70
Aectyene Generators it had found safe, and effective
wired for Electricity, under proper conditions.
Now, the Insurance Companies ought to know
whether or not these 70 different makes of Accylenc
Generators were absolutely Safe TO use
Because, they have pay the bills if Fire or Ex-
pos'on occurs from any one Of the Acevlcne Gener
ators they authorize.
And, here's proof OF their good Judgment
Though there are Two Million people using y,
Acetye'le Light III america there have only been fonr
Kerosene and Gasoline.
1907 Fires from City Gas and $40 Fires from Candles
Besides these there have been rs Fires from the
Suns rays But.--oniy four Fires from Acetylene
That shows how"taytfas the Insurance Board
in its examination Of Acetylene Generators, and in
permitting only the 20 makes that obosIe sus-
teion, out of the 6oo experiments that
the market.
Well,--the boom in Acct ylene Lighting made !o,yey
prices possible the material it derived from, viz,
Calcium Carbide material that looks like Granite
but acts like Magic.
Today, Acetylene Light is fll third cheaper than
Kerosene Light, or Gasoline Light, per Candle Power
It is not than fa1f The price of Electric Light
nor thyec-f onrths that Of City Gas.
If can't brove these statements to your full salts
faction my name is not "Acey}ene Jones"
But Acetycne is more than the safest and cheapest
II is also the Vhiest Lglt-tle nearest to natural
Sunlight IN heat'-g'vng Blue and Violet rays, and
bee Of IT this % its fs9m from flicker it is
1t is SO much like real Sunlight that it has made
plants grow hours per day in dark cellars where
ray OF Sunlight could xeach them Tt made them grow
tsrce fast similar plants that had only the Sum
light of daytime, viz hall the time.
That was proven by Cornell University in a three
months experiment made this very year
Now, I've saved up for the last point more i'm
portant to you than all the others about Acetylene
Light
1t consumes only Que fourth as much of the vital
Oxygen from the Air of Living rooms or bedrooms,
as either Kerosene or City t,as-Tig,t consumes
That's tremendous difference in lifetime mark
you--three- fourths OF difference.
Because-Oryseu is Life.
And every bit OF Oxygen stolen from the lungs Of
Women, Children and Men, through Lighting is
loss that never be made good again.
A "a Candle Power Acctylene Light costs you only
t7co- ffths of per hour.
That's about $5.85 per year. if burned every night
in the year for four steady hours.
Kerosene Lamp of equal capacity would cost you
third more, viz Nlreeffths of cent per hour for
Kerosene alone, or $S75 per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp chmneys,
wicks, and the everlasting drudgery and danger of
cleaning, filling and trimming daily.
