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 it permitted houses to be p,ped for oy "a'
or wired for Electricity, under proper conditions,
Now the Insurance Companies ought to know
whether or these 70 different makes OF Acetyiene
Generators were absolutely Safe to use. -
Because, they have to pay the bills, II firc or TX
plosion occurs, from any one of the Acetyene Gener
ators they authorize.
Though there are Two Million people using
Acetyene Light in America, there have only been fo"r
Fires from it in one year, against 1905 fireS from
There have also been 46o1 Fires from Electricity.
1907 Fires from City Gas and $40 Fires from Candles
Besides these there have been 2o Fires from the
Suns ravs. But-ony four Fires from Acetylene
That shows how careful the Insurance Board was
in its examination of Acetylene Generators, ana III
"permittinp" only the 70 makes that were dbo1e sas
tcion out of the 600 experiments that were once on
the market
Wel-the boom in Acetylene Lighting made lo7osv
PRICES possible the material 1t 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 more than half the price of Electric Light
nor three fou,ths that of City Gas.
If can't brore these statements to your tull salts
faction my name is not "Acetyene Jones"
But Acetylene is than the safest and cheapest
Light of the year 1905.
Sunlight in healthgiving Blue and Violet rays, and
because of this, with its freedom from flicker 1T IS
the easiest of all Artificial Light on the Eyes
1t is 50 much like real Sunlight that it has made
plants grow "a hours per day dark cellars where no
ray of Sunlight could reach them 1t made them grow
fast similar plants that had only the Sun
light of day time 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 inn
portant to you than all the others about Acetyene
Light
1t consumes only one fourth much of the vital
Oxygen from the Air of Living rooms or bedrooms,
as either Kerosene City Gas-Light consumes.
That's tremendous difference in 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 a
loss that never be made good again.
A "a Candle Power Acetylene Light costs you only
f7Uo-ffths of a cent per hour
That's about $5.8s 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 three ffths of cent per hour for
Kerosene alone, or 1915 per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp chinneys, new
wicks, and the everlasting drudgery and danger OF
cleaning, filling and trimming daily.
