To make Cheap Gas-light for
Country Homes

out extra charge, which used any one Of ttcae 20
Aceylene Generators it had found SAFE and effective,
Just as 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 hcctyene
Generators were absolutely Safe TO use.
Because, they have to pay the bills, II Fire or EN-
plosion occurs, from any of the Acetylene Gencr
atorS they authorize
And, here's a proof of their good judgment
Though there now Two Million people usicg
Acetyene Light in America, there have only been four
Fires from il in one year, against SSo5 Fires from
Kerosene and Gasoline.
There have also been 1904 Fires from Electricity
1907 Fires from City Gas and $50 Fires from Candles
Besides these there have been 10 Fires from the
Suns rays But,--ouy four Fires from Acetylcrc.
That shows how careful the Insurance Board
in its examination of Accylenc Generators, aud in
permitting" only the 70 makes that were aborc
tieion, out of the COO experiments that
the market.
Well,-the boom in Acetylenc Lighting made lo,ccy
Prices possible the material II derived from, VIZ
Calcium Carbide material that looks like Granite
but acts like Magic.
Today, Acctyiene Light is a full third cheaper than
Kerosene Light Gasoline Light, per Candle Power.
1t is not than half the price of Electric Light
nor three foWthS that of City Gas.
II can't prOVc these statements 10 your full salts
faction my name is not "ACetylene Jones"
But Acetyene is more than the safest and chcapcs!
Light of the year 1905.
Sunlight in heah-givng Blue and Violet rays, and
because of this with its freedom from flicker, it is
the easiest of all Artificial Light on the Eyes
1t is much like real Sunlight that it has made
plants grow "a hours per day in dark cellars where
ray of Sunlight could reach them It made them grow
tsoee fast similar plants that had only the Sun
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 i'm
porant to you than all the others about Acctylcnc
Light
1t consumes only one fowih as much of the vital
Oxygen from the Air of Living rooms or bedrooms,
as either Kerosene City Gas-l light consumes.
That's a tremendous difference in a lifetime mark
you--three-fourths Of difference
Because,-Orygrn is Life.
And every bit Of Oxygen stolen from the lungs Of
Women, Children and Men, through Lighting is
loss that can be made good again.
a n Candle Power Accylcne Light costs you only
iSuO-ffihS Of a cent per hour.
That's about $sS5 per year II burned every night
in the year for four steady hours
A Kerosene Lamp of equal capacity would cost Won
third more, viz. HrctdfHS Of a cent per hour i0r
Kerosene alone, or $S7S per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp Chmncys
wickS, and the everlasting drdgery and danger Of
cleaning filling and trimming daily,
want to broTe these figures TO you, Reader, If you
a HORSEPOWER or storckecpcr.
Tell me how many you've got and III tell You
what it will cost to light them with brilliant beautiful,
Sanitary, eyc-Saving Acctylenc
