Light setback, at first.
1t seemed so simple to turn Calcium Carbide into
Gas-ligt that over Goo different kinds of tanks and
"Acetylene Machines" were invented, patented and
marketed for the purpose, by about many different
people.
Well the thing to be expected certainly happened
About $50 of these "Acetyene Machines" had been
invented and sold by people who knew more about
TinzUdre than they did about Gds-mdking.
The Calcium Carbide" was all right all the time,
but $50 of the machines for turning into Gas
all wrong all the time.
So Acetylene Gas got a bad name" though it is
clear enough noaO that it deserved any time
1t was like selling Wood Stores to burn Hard Coal
in, and then blaming the Coal for not burning.
Lots of things happened to grieve the Owners of
these $50 makes of alleged "Aceylene Machines"
But very few accidents occurred from them even in
the days of rank experiment and dense ignorance,
among Generator Makers.
OF course gun will go off Unexpectedly now and
then if the trigger be pulled by,a person who didn't
know it was loaded"
But that's no fault of the Ammunition-is Il?
Well finally the Insurance Companies got after
these $50 odd likes of "Acetylene Machines that
wouldn't Acetyaie and the Insurance Board made an
investigation of all Generators that were submitted to
them.
Then, out of the GOO odd Machines patented
only about 70 permitted by the Insurance Board
to be used.

WEALTHY MEN OF COLORADO.

Colorado is the State of vast individual

Many people of vast wealth have
moved into the State in the last few
years and invested large sans in min

and other enterprises, and are not in
