out extra charge which used any one Of these 20
Aeetyene Generators it had found safe, and effective
just as 1t permitted houses TO be pped for City Cas-
or wired for Electricity, under proper conditions
Now, the Insurance Companies ought to know
whether not these 20 different makes of Acetylene
Generators were absolutely Safe to use
Because, they have to pay the bills, if Fire Ex-
posion OCCURS from any one of the Acetylene Gener-
ators they authorize.
And, here's proof of their good judgment
. Though there are now Two Million people using
Acetyene Light in America, there have only been four
Fires tron 1t IN one year, against 1906 Fires from
Kerosene and Gasoline
There have also been 46or Fires from Electricity
1907 Fires from City Cas- and $40 Fires from Candles
Besides these there have been 2o Fires from the
Suns rays, But-ony 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 above
ficion out of the Goo experiments that were
the market
Well,-the boom in Acetylene Lighting made louer
prices possible the material is derived from, viz,
Calcium Carbide, material that looks like Granite
but acts like Magic.
Today AeetyIene Light is full third cheaper than
Kerosene Light or Gasoline Light per Candle Power
1t is not than half the price of Electric Light,
three fowths that Of City Gas
If can't pro1e these statements to your full salts
faction my name is not "Acctylene Jones'
But Acetylene is than the safest and cheapest
Light of the year 1926
1t is also the Whitest Ligh-he nearest to natural
Sunlight in health-giving 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 hours per day in dark cellars where
ray of Sunlight could reach them 1t made them grow
f1uee fast similar plants That had only the Sum-
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 i'm
portant to you than all the others about Acetyene
Light
1t consumes only one fourth as much of the vital
Oxygen from the Air of Living rooms or bedrooms,
That's tremendous difference in lifetime, mark
you-three-fourths of difference.
Because,-OTygen 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.
~ Candle-Power Acetylene Light costs you only
f7po-ffths of cent per hour.
That's about $5S5 per year. if burned every night
in the year for four steady hours.
A Kerosene Lamp of equal capacity would cost you
third more viz: three-ffths of cent per hour for
Kerosene alone, or S875 per year.
That's exclusive of broken lamp ch:nneys, new
wicks and the everlasting drudgery and danger of
cleaning, filling and trimming daily.
