IAN Attractive Lamp.

Is both useful and ornamental, and no home
can have too many To have a Lamp that
throws out a soft and steady light is the one
that you need most, and yet some lamps are
expensive on account of the amount of oil that
they consume. Our Lamps burn less oil and
give better light than any lamp on the market.
We have them for either oil, gas or electricity.
