out extra charge, which used any one Of these. 70
Acetylene Generators il had found safe and effective
just it permitted houses to be plped Tor Sity LAS
or wired for Electricity, under proper conditions.
Now. the Insurance Companies ought to know
whether not these 70 different makes OF Acetyene
Generators were absolutely Safe to use.
Because they have to pay the bills, II fire Or tx
ploson occurs from any one OF the Aceylenc Gener-
ators they authorize.
i, And here's proof Of their good judgment
Though there are now Two Million people using
Acetylcne Light in America, there have only been fonr
Fires from it in one year, against 8S65 Fires from
There have also been 46o1 Fires from Electricity,
1907 Fires from City Gas and $50 Fires from Candles
Besides these there have beer, 80 Fires from the
Suns rays, But.-only four Fires from Acetylene
That shows how careful the Insurance Board was
in its Of s e1e ao1 ana ss
ticom out Of the Goo experiments that were once Oh
the market
Well-the boom in Acetylene Lighting made loaer
Prices possible the material it is derived from VIZ,
Calcium Carbide, material that looks like Granite
but acts like Magic.
Today, Aectylene Light is a full third chea1sy than
Kerosene Light or Gasoline Light, per Candle Power
1t is not than half the price Of Electric Light
nor three fonrths that Of City Gas.
If can't pro9e these statements to your full salts
faction my name is not "Acetyene Jones"
But Acetylene is than the safest and cheapest
Il is also the Whiiest Light-thc nearest to natural
Sunlight in health-gving Blue and Violet rays, ana
because Of this with its fTesdo t from te e eker 7 :
It IS SO much like real Sunlight that it has made
plants grow "a hours per day in dark cellars where no
raw OF Sunlight could reach them. It made them grow
tqscc as fast as similar plants that had only the St
light Of day-tnle viz, half 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 Accylenc
Light ...,
II consumes only ne-fonrth much OF the vital
Oxygen from the Air of Living rooms or bedrooms,
as either Kerosene or City Gas-Light consumes.
That's tremendous difference in lifetime mark
you-three -fourths of difference
Because,--OFygcn is Life.
And every bit Of Oxygen stolen from the lungs OF
Women, Children and Men, through Lighting IS
loss that can never be made good again.
A "a Candle Power Acetylenc Light costs you ony
tSvo-ffths of a cent per hour.
That's about $585 per year, if burned every night
in the year for four steady hours
A Kerosene Lamp of equal capacity would cost you
third nlore viz thyce-ffths OF cent per hour foF
Kerosene alone, or $8.75 per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp chimneys, new
wicks. and the everlasting drudgery and danger OF
cleaning, filing and trimming daily
