To make Cheap Gas-light for
Country Homes

out extra charge, which used any one Of these 70
Acetyene Generators it had fc1nd safe, and effective,
just as It permitted houses to be pped for City Cas-
or wired for Electricity, under proper conditions
Now, the Insurance Companies ought to know
whether or not these 70 different makes Of Acetylene
Generators were absolutely Safe TO use
Because, they have to pay the bills, If Fire or Ex-
posion occurs from any one Of the Acetylene Gener-
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 four
Fires from It IN one year, against 8So5 Fires from
Kerosene and Gasoline
There have also been 46oI Fires from Electricity
1907 Fires from City Gas and $40 Fires from Candles
Besides these there have been 20 Fires from the
Suns rays, But-ony four Fires from Acetylene
That shows how careful the Insurance Board was
in its examination of Acetylene Generators and in
permitting only the 70 makes that were above sas-
Picon out OF the 600 experiments that we're on
the market
Well--the boom in Acetylene Lighting made loscer
frceS possible on the material it is derived from, viz
Calcium Carbide, material that looks like Granite
but acts like Magic
Today Acetyiene Light is a full third cheaper than
Kerosene Light, Gasoline Light per Candle Power
1t is not than half the price of Electric Light
nor three fowthS that of City Gas
If can't Proye these statements TO your full salts
faction my name is not "Acetyene Jones'"
But Acetylene is more than the safest and cheapest
Light of the year 1905.
1t is also the IVhitest Lght-the nearest to natural
Sunlight in healthgiving Blue and Violet rays and
the easiest Of all Artificial Light the Eyes
It is so much like real Sunlight that it has made
plants grow "a hours per day in dark cellars where
ray of Sunlight could reach them 1t made them grow
tOce fast similar plants that had only the Sum
light of day-time 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 Acebene
Light
1t consumes only one fourth as much Of the vital
Oxygen from the Air of Living or bedrooms,
as either Kerosene or City Gas-Light consumes
That's tremendous difference in a lifetime mark
you--three-fourths of difference
Because,-Oxygen is Life.
And every bit of Oxygen stolen from the lungs Of
Women Children and Men, through Lighting is a
loss that can never be made good again.
"a Candle Power Acetylene Light costs you only
fzGo-ffths of cent per hour
That's about $585 per year, if burned every night
in the year for four steady hours
Kerosene Lamp of equal capacity would cost you
a third more, viz Mree-ffths OF cent per hour for
Kerosene alone, or $875 per year
That's exclusive of broken lamp chimneys new
wicks, and the everlasting drudgery and danger of
cleaning, filling and trimming daily
want to brOge these figures TO you, Reader, if you
are house-owner or storekeeper.
Tell me how many rooms you've got and I'll tell you
what it will cost to light them with brilliant beautiful,
Sanitary eye-saving Acetylene.
