To make Cheap Gas-light for
Country Homes

out extra charge, which Used any one Of these 70
Aceylene Generators it had found safe and Effective
just as it permitted houses to be piped Tor CITY Oas
wired for Electricity, under proper conaltions
Now, the Insurance Companies oMgh! to know
whether or not these 70 different makes Of Aceylene
Generators were absolutely Safe to
Because, they have to pay the bills if Fire OF EN~
ploson occurs, from any of the Acetylehe GeNer-
ators they authorize
And here's proof Of their good judgment
Though there are now Two Million people using
Aceylene 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 46oI Fires from Electricity
1907 Fires from City Gas, and $50 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 Acetyene Generators, and in
1nerrnittine" only the 70 makes that above
bcon out Of the 600 experiments that were once on
the market.
Wefl-the boom in Acetylene Lighting made loaey
3yices possible on the material it is derived FROM vz
Calcium Carbide, material that looks like Granite
TO-DAY Acetyene Light is full third cheaper than
Kerosene Light OF Gasoline Light per Candle Powsr
It is not more than half the prce'of Electric Ligay
nor three oMythS that Of City Gas.
If can't bYove these statements to your fil saIs-3
faction nv name is not "Acetylene Jones"
But Acetyene is than the Safesf and chedPest'
Light of the year 1905 -,
Sunlight in heath-giving Blue and Violet rays, and
Because Of this with its freedom from flicker, it is
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 no
raw of Sunlight could reach them. It made them grow
tz0ce as fast similar plants that had only the Sun
light of daytime viz, half the time ,
That was 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 .,L
Oxygen from the Air Of Living rooms or Dea-ro0irS'
as either Kerosene or City Gas-Lght consumes
That's tremendous difference in lifetime marx
you-three-fourths of difference.
Because,-OSygeB is Life. ,oe
Women Children and Men, through Lighting, is a
loss that can never be made good again.
A "a Cande-Power Acetylene Light costs you only
fzUo-ffths of a cent per hour. -
That's about $585 per year, II burned every night
in the year for four steady hours.
A Kerosene Lamp of equal capacity would cost you
a third more, viz. Hyee-fftS OF cent per hour Iof
Kerosene alone, or $8.75. per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp chimneys, new
wicIs, and the everlasting drudgery and danger OF
cleaning, filling and trimming daily
want to prone these figures to you, Reaeer' II you
are HORSEPOWER or storekeeper.
Tell me how many rooms you've got and 1Ilstell you
what it will cost TO light them with brilliant beautiful
Sanitary eye-saving Acetylene.
