out extra charge, which used any one of these 70
A!cetylene Generators it had found safe, and effective,
or wired for Electricity, under proper conditions.
Now the Insurance Companies ought to know
Generators were absolutely Safe to use.
Because, they have to pay the bills, if Fire or Ex-
ploslon, occurs, from any one Of the Acctylene Gener-
ators they authorize.
Aud, here's a proof of their good Judgment.
Ihough! there are+now Two Million people using
Acetylene Light iA America, there have only becn four
Kerosene and Gasoline.
There have also been 1901 Fires from Electricity.
1907 Fires from City Gas, and $40 Fires from Candles.
Suns rays, But,-only four Fires from Acctylene.
That shows how careful the Insurance Board was
in its examination of Acctylcnc Generators, and in
permitting" only the 70 makes that were above sus-
ticIon, out of the GOO experiments that were once on
the market.
.Well,-the boom i'll Acctylene Lighting made iowe,
prices possible on the material it is derived from, viz,
Calcium Carbide, a material that looks like Granite
but acts like Magic.
Today, -Acetylenc Light is a full third cheaper than
Kerosene Light, or Gasoline Light, per Candle Power.
1t is not more than half the prceN of Electric Light,
nor three-fon,ths that of City Gas.
It can't proSe these statements to your full salts
faction my name is not "Acetylene Jones'"
But Acetylene is more than the safest and cheapest
1t is also the Whitest Iight-the nearest to natural
Sunlight in healtl:giving Blue and Violet rays, and
the easiest of all Artificial Light Oh the Eyes,
1t is so much like real Sunlight that it has made
plants grow "a hours per day in dark cellars where 10
ray of Sunlight could reach them. It made them grow
t7viee as fast as similar plants that had only the Sun
light Of daytime, viz, half the time.
That was proven by Cornell University in a three
months experiment made this very year.
Now, I've saved Up for the last a point more i'm
portant to you than all the others about Acetylene
Light.
1t consumes only one1owth as much Of the vital
Oxygen from the Air Of Living rooms or bedrooms,
as either Kerosene or City Gas-l.igft consumes.
That's a tremendous difference i'll a lifetime, mark
you-three-fourth OF a difference.
,Because,-Oxygen is Life.
And every bit of Oxygen stolen from the lungs of
loss that can never be made good again.
A "a Candle-Power Acetylene Light costs you only
taUo-ffths of a 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
a third more, viz: three-hfths of a cent per hour for
Kerosene alone, or $875 per year.
That's exclusive Of broken lamp c1ln1neys, new.
wicks, and the everlasting drudgery and danger of
cleaning, filling and trimming daily.
I want to prove these figures TO you, Reader, if you
are a house owner or storekeepcr.
Tell me how many, rooms you've got and I'll tell you
what it will cost to light them with brilliant, beautiful,
Sanitary, eye-saving Acetylenc.
