out extra charge which used any one Of these 10
Aceylene Generators II had found safe and effective,
just as 1t 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 70 different makes OF Acetyene
Generators absolutely Safe to
Because they have to pay the bills if Fire or Ex-
poson occurs, from any one of the Acetyene Gener-
ators they authorize
And, here's proof of their good judgment.
Though there Two Million people using
Aceylene Light in America there have only been four
fires from 1t IN one year, against 6So5 Fires from
Kerosene and Gasoline.
1907 Fires from City Gas and $40 Fires from Candles
Besides these there have been 26 Fires from the
Suns rays But,-only four Fires from Acetylene
That shows how careful the Insurance Board
in its examination Of Acetylene Generators and in
permitting only the 70 makes that were above
tcton, out OF the 600 experiments that were once on
the market.
Well,-the boom in Acetylene Lighting made loaper
Prices possible the material it derived from, viz,
Calcium Carbide, a 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 onvths that of City Gas
If can't Prove these statements your full salts
faction my name is not "Acetylene Jones'"
But Acetylene more than the safest and cheapest
Light of the year 1905
It is also the Whitest Light-the nearest to natural
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 "a hours per day in dark cellars where
ray of Sunlight could reach them 1t made them grow
truce as fast as similar plants that had only the Sum
light of daytime, 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
Oaygen from the Air of Living rooms or bedrooms,
as either Kerosene or City Gas-Light consumes
That's tremendous difference in lifetime mark
you-three fourths of difference
Becausc-Oxygen is Life.
And lit 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
tzvo-ffths of cent per hour.
That's about $585 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: three -fths of cent per hour for
Kerosene alone, or $875 per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp chimneys, new
wicks and the everlasting drudgery and danger of
cleaning, filling and trimming daily.
