out extra charge, which used any one Of these 70
Aceylene Generators it had found safe and effective,
just permitted houses to be piped for City Gas,
or wired for Electricity, under proper conditions.
Now, the Insurance Companies ought to know
whether not these 70 different makes of Acetyene
Generators overwhelmingly Safe to
Because they have to pay the bills, if Fire Ex-
plosion occurs from any one Of the Aceylene Gener
ators they authorize
And here's proof Of their good Judgment
Though there now Two Million people using
Acetylene Light in America there have only been four
Fires from i in one year, against 1905 Fires from
There have also been 1901 Fires from Electricity.
1907 Fires from City Gas, and $40 Fires from Candies
Besides these there have been 40 Fires from the
Suns rays, But-ony four Fires from Acetyene.
That shows how careful the Insurance Board was
in its examination of Acetylene Generators, and in
permitting only the 70 makes that were Gb0ve
picou out Of the 600 experiments that were once on
the market
We,--the boom in Acetylene Lighting made lower
prices possible the material tits 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
Ii is not more than half the price Of Electric Light
nor three-foNYtks that of City Gas
If can't Prove these statements to your full salts
faction my name is not "Acetylene Jones'"
But Aceylene is more than the safest and cheapest
Light of the year 1905
1t is also the Whiiest Light-the nearest to natural
Sunlight in health-gving 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 so much like real Sunlight that 1t has made
plants grow "a hours per day in dark cellars where
ray of Sunlight could reach Them It made them grow
tzice fast similar plants that had only the Sum
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 point more inn
portant to you than all the others about Acetylene
Light
1t consumes only one-fouyth 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 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 can never be made good again,
"a Candle Power Acetylene Light costs you only
tzU0-ffths of cent per hour
That's about $5.85 per year, # burned every night
in the year for four steady hours.
Kerosene Lamp of equal capacity would cost you
a third more viz: hEree-fftbs Of cent per hour for
Kerosene alone, or $875 per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp cl1mneys, new
wicks, and the everlasting drudgery and danger OF
cleaning filling and trimming daily.
