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 pped for City Gas,
or wired for Electricity, under proper conditions
Now, the Insurance Companies ought to know
whether or not these 10 different makes of Aceylene
Generators absolutely Safe to use
Because, they have to pay the bills, if Fire or Ex
plosion occurs, from any one of the Aceyene Gener
ators they authorize
Though there now Two Million people Using
Acetylene Light in America, there have only been four
Fires from in one year, against 1906 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 80 Fires from the
Suns rays, But--only four Fires from Acetylene
That shows how careful the Insurance Board was
permitting only the 70 makes that were above sas-
ficon out of the Goo experiments that were once on
the market
Well-the boom in Acetylene Lighting made lozvcr
prices 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
nor three oRrths that of City Gas.
If can't PROVE these statements to your full salts
faction my name is not "Aeetylene Jones"

That was proven by Cornell University in three
months experiment made this very year.

portant to you than all the others about Aceylene
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 a 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 never be made good again
A "A Candle-Power Acetylene Light costs you only
tsVo-fffhS of cent per hour.
That's about $58s per year if burned every night

A Kerosene Lamp Of equal capacity would cost you
third more, viz. Hree-ffts of cent per hour for
Kerosene alone or $8.75 per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp chinncys, new
wcks and the everlasting drudgery and danger of
cleaning, filling and trimming daily.
