Now, the Insurance Companies ought to know
whether or not these 10 different makes of Acetylene
Generators were absolutely Safe to
Because, they have to pay the bills, if Fire Ex-
plosion occurs, from any Of the Acetyene Gener
ators they authorize.
And, here's proof of their good judgment
Though there are now Two Million people using
Aeetyene Light in America, there have only been four
Kerosene and Gasoline.
There have also been 1901 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,-onIy four Fires from Acetylene
That shows how careful the Insurance Board was
IN its examination of Acetylene Generators, and IN
permitting only the 10 makes that ADORE sns-
fieton, out OF the COO experiments that

Well,-the boom in Acetyene Lighting made Io1ver

Calcium Carbide, material that looks like Granite

Today, Aoetylene Light is a full third cheaper than
Kerosene Light or Gasoline Light, per Candle Power.

Light of the year 1905.
is also the Whifest Light-the nearest to natural

That 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 than all the others about Acctylene
Light
1t consumes only ono fourth as much of the vital
Oxygen from the Air of Living rooms or bedrooms,
either Kerosene or City Gas-Light consumes
That's tremendous difference in lifetime, mark
you-three fourths of difference.
Because-OxygeH IS Life.
And every bit of Oxygen stolen from the Iungs of
loss that be made good again
"a Candle-Power Acetylene Light costs you only
f100-ffths of cent per hour.
That's about $5S5 per year, if burned every night
in the year for four steady hours
A Kerosene Lamp of equal capacity would cost you
third more, viz tree-ffths of cent per hour for
Kerosene alone, OF $875 per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp chmneys,
wicks, and the everlasting drudgery and danger of
cleaning filing and trimming daily.
