To make Cheap Gas-light for
Country Homes

out extra charge which used any one of these 70
Acetylene Generators it had found SAFE and effective,
just as it permitted houses to be piped 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 absolutely Safe to use.
Because, they have to pay the bills if Fire or Ex-
posion occurs from any one of the Acetylene Gener
.aors they authorize.
And, here's proof of their good judgment
Though there Two Million people using
Acetylene light in America there have only been four
Fires from it IN one year, against 1905 Fires from
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,-only 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 aboUe SnS-
pcton, out of the GOO experiments that
the market.
Well,-the boom in Acetylene Lighting made loqoer
prices possible the material it is derived FROM viz
Calcium Carbide material that looks like Granite
but acts like Magic
Today, Acetylene Light is full third cheaper than
1t is than holt the price of Electric Light
nor three fOnrthS that of City Gas.
If can't ProVe these statements to your full salts
faction my name is not "Acetylene Jones'"
But Acetyene IS more than the safest and cheapest
Light of the year 1905.
1t is also the Whest Light-the nearest to natural
Sunlight i'll health giving Blue and Violet rays and
because of this with its freedom from flicker, it is
the easiest of all Artificial Light on 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
fast similar plants that had only the Sun
light of daytime viz, half the time.
That proven by Cornell University in 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.
It consumes oniv One-foRyth as much of the vital
Oxygen from the Air of Living bedrooms,
as either Kerosene or City Gas-Light consumes.
That's tremendous difference in 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
tzUo-ffthS of cent per hour
That's about $5.85 per year, if burned every night
in the year for four steady hours.
A Kerosene Lamp Of equal capacity would cost you
a third more viz thyce-ffths of cent per hour for
Kerosene alone, or $875 per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp chln1neys, new
wicks, and the everlasting drudgery and danger OF
cleaning filling and trimming daily,
I want to br01e these figures to you, Reader If you
are HORSEPOWER storekeeper
Tell me how many you've got and III tell you
what it will cost to light them with brilliant beautiful,
Sanitary, eye-savng Acetylene
