To make Cheap Gas-light for
Country Homes

out extra charge, which used any one OF these 70
Acetyene Generators it had found safe and eheenye'
lust as permitted houses to be pped Tor City Gas,
or wired for Electricity under proper condluonS,
Now, the Insurance Companies ought to Know
whether or not these 70 different makes OF Aeelyene
Generators were absolutely Safe to use
Because, they have to pay the bills, II Fire or Ex-
poson 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
Acetylene Light in America, there have only been four
Fires from It III one year, against SSo5 tires IRON
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,-only tour Fires from Acetyene,
That shows how careful the Insurance Board was
in its examination of Acetylene Generators, and in
permitting only the 70 makes that were dboVe SnS-
tcioH, out of the 600 experiments that were once OH
the market.
Wcll,-the boom in Acetylene Lighting made losgtr
prices possible the material it is derived from, viz,
Calcium Carbide material that looks like Granite
but acts like Magic.
Kerosene Light or Gasoline Light per Candle Power.
II is not more than halt the price of Electric Light
nor three oHrthS 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
% alec ths I!'hiss' Lghttho nearest to natural
Sunlight in heah-givng Blue and Violet rays, and
because of this with its freedom from flicker, it is
the easiest of all Artificial Light on the Eyes,
1t is so much like real Sunlight that It has made
plants grow hours per day in dark cellars where no
ray of Sunlight could reach them It made them grow
t7tice as fast similar plants that had only the Sum
light of daytime viz, half the time.
That was proven by Cornell University in a three
months experiment made this very year.
Now I've saved TIP for the last point more inn
portant to you than all the others about Acetylene
Light
1t consumes only one fourth as much of the vital
Oxygen from the Air of Living or bedrooms,
as either Kerosene City Gas-Lght 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
t7Vo- ffthS of cent per hour.
That's about $5SS 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: thrcc-ffhS of cent per hour for
Kerosene alone, or $87s per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp chmneys, new
wcks and the everlasting drudgery and danger of
cleaning filling and trimming daily
want to broVe these figures to you Reader, if you
are HORSEPOWER 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-savng Acetylene.
