Acetyene Generators it had found safe, and effective
just it permitted houses to be pped for City Cas-
wired for Electricity, under proper conditions
Now. the Insurance Companies ought to know
whether not these 70 different makes OF Acetylene
Generators were absolutely Safe to use.
Because, they have to pay the bills if Fire OF Ex-
ploson occurs from any of the Acetylene Gener-
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 SSo5 Fires from
Kerosene and Gasoline.
There have also been 1901 Fires from Electricity
1907 Fires from City Cas- and $50 Fires from Candles
Besides these there have been 26 Fires from the
SUMS rays, But--ony 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 abovc sns
ticion ont of the GOO experiments that were on
the market.
Well,-the boom in Aceylene Lighting made loscer
trices 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
Kerosene Light or Gasoline Light, per Candle Power
1t is not than half the price of Electric Light,
nor three fomths that of City Gas.
If can't trose these statements to your full salts

That was 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 Acetyene
Light
It consumes only one fourth 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 a lifetime mark
you--three- fourths of difference.
Because-Orygen is Life.
And every bit of Oxygen stolen from the lungs of
Women, Children and Men, through Lighting is
loss that can never be made good again
A "a Candle Power Acetylene Light costs you only
t7vo-ffths of a 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
third more viz: tsreeffths of cent per hour for
Kerosene alone, or $87s per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp chimneys, new
wicks, and the everlasting drudgery and danger of
cleaning, filling and trimming daily.
