To make Cheap Gas-light for
Country Homes

out extra charge which used any one Of these 70
Acetyene Generators had found safe and effective
just as It permitted houses TO be piped for City Gas,
or wired for Electricity, under proper conditions
Now, the Insurance Companies ought to know
whether or not these 70 different makes Of Aceylene
Generators absolutely Safe to use
Because they have to pay the bills, if Fire Ex-
poson occurs, from any Of the Acetylene Gener-
ators they authorize
And here's proof OF their good Judgment
Though there are Two Million people using
Aceylene Light in America, there have only been four
tres from i IN one year, against SSo5 Fires from
Kerosene and Gasoline
There have also been 46or 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 abo1e sns-
picon, out Of the ooo experiments that we're
the market.
WeI-the boom in Acetyene Lighting made logver
Prices possible the material it is derived from, viz
Calcium Carbide a 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,
three foarfhS that of City Gas,
If can't prove these statements TO your full salts
faction my name IS not "Acetyene Jones"
But Acetyene is more than the safest and cheapest
Light of the year 1905.
1t is also the Vhifest Lightthe nearest to natural
Sunlight in health giving Blue and Violet rays, and
because of this, with its freedom from flicker, it is
the easiest of all Artificial Light the Eyes
1t is 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
fz0ce fast similar plants that had only the Sum
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 i'm
portant to you than all the others about Acctyene
Light
1t consumes only one fourth as much of the vital
Oxygen from the Air of Living rooms or bedrooms,
as either Kerosene or City Gas Light consumes
That's tremendous difference in a lifetime, mark
you-three- fourths of difference
Because,-O9ygen is Life
And every bit of Oxygen stolen from the lungs of
Women, Children and Men, through Lighting is a
loss that never be made good again.
"a Candle-Power Acetylene Light costs you only
fg0o-f fthS of cent per hour
That's about $s.85 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: bvee-ffths of a cent per hour for
Kerosene alone, or $S75 per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp chmneys, new
wicks, and the everlasting drudgery and danger Of
cleaning, filling and trimming daily.
! want to tro5e these figures to YOU Reader if you
are a horsepower storekeeper
Tell me how cany rooms you've rot anc III tell you
what it will cost 10 light them With brilliant beautiful
