To make Cheap Gas-light for
Country Homes

out extra charge, which used any one Of these 20
Acetylene Generators it had found safe and effective,
just as il 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 were absolutely Safe to use,
Because they have to pay the bills if Fire or Ex-
posion occurs from any one OF the Acetylene Gener
ators they authorize.
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 46o1 Fires from Electricity,
1907 Fires from City Gas, and $50 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 was
in its examination of Acetylene Generators and in
permitting only the 70 makes that were aboVe
ficon, out of the Goo experiments that were once
the market
Well,-thc boom in Acetylene Lighting made lo1ccr
Prices possible the material it 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 fourths that of City Gas.
# can't troVe these statements to your full salts
faction my name is not "Acetylene Jones"
But Acetyene is more than the safest and cheapest
Light of the year 1905.
1t is also the Whifest Lght-the nearest to natural
Sunlight in healtl-g giving Blue and Violet rays, and
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 i'll dark cellars where
ray of Sunlight could reach them. 1t made them grow
tavice as fast similar plants that had only the Sun-
light of daytime, viz, half the time.
That proven by Cornell University in three
months experiment made this very year.
Now, I've saved TIP for the last a point more i'm
portant to you than all the others about Acetylene
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 tremendous difference il lifetime, mark
you-threc-fourth of difference.
Because-Orygcn 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 Cande-Power Acetylcne Light costs you only
f1V0-ffths of cent per hour.
That's about $585 per year, if burned every night
in the year for four steady hours
Kerosene Lamp of equal capacity would cost you
third more, viz: Hrce-fHs of cent per hour for
Kerosene alone, or $875 per year
That's exclusive of broken lamp chimneys new
cleaning, filling and trimming daily.
want to prove these figures to you, Reader, if you
are house owner storekeeper.
Tell me how many rooms you've got and I'll tell you
what will cost to light them with brilliant, beautiful,
Sanitary eye-saving Acetyene.
