Electric Lights
in Every Home.

We have noticed an article in the
Fargo Forum, the leading newspaper
OF the state, that the Primary Bat
terry has finally been perfected. 1t
is stated that the best electric lights
were shown in Fargo and jamestown
that have ever been seen in their
cities were made by the new Gugler
Primary Battery, manufactured by
the Battery Company Of Milwaukee.
Edison has always claimed, that if
the Primary Battery could be per-
fected and operated on a commercial
basis it would revolutioniZe the cleo
trical world. 1t seems that this Won
dertul invention is past the expert
mental stage; we note that the Fargo
Plumbing & Heating Co. of Fargo, one
of the best firms Of that city, has be-
come identified with the new Com
pany. They will handle the state
store of North Dakota. The purpose
Of this store is to furnish the stores
in the various counties throughout
the state with batteries and electrical
machines, and solutions for the re-
newals for the new primary.
This new system will be installed
in all the suburban homes and farm
buildings. 1t is not necessary any
more to have the engine and dynamo.
Anyone having the new primary, can
60 to the corner grocery and pur-
chase a gallon of solution, and pour
1t into the new cells, then electricity

water, and can be used for any light
be made modern with this new in
vention. There is no danger from
the new system by fire, as this will
DO away with kerosene lamps and Ian
terms. We note that it runs automo-
hiles, electric boats, operates tele-
phone exchanges, telegraph, auto
matte pianos, dental machines. 1t is
perfect for train lighting, in fact, the
power and lights are ready at any
time when needed. 1t does not re-
quire an electrician to take care of
the primary which consists of six
small cells and will not occupy
space larger than two foot square.
There has been good deal of strife
In some counties to see which town
would secure the county store, as IL
will furnish employment for a good
many people, and it ought to be the
best store in the county. These
stores will supply the plants, all re-
newals, lamps, chandeliers, etc. Also,
attend to the wiring of all buildings
where the new electric lights and
power will be installed. 1t is to be
hoped that we can be fortunate
enough to get the store located here.
Demonstrations are being given in
many counties, and you will probably
have. an opportunity to see the new
primary battery in operation in the
near future. 1t is claimed that it can
be operated as reasonable as any of
the gasoline and other lighting plants.
1t certainly seems too good to be
true, but it has been past upon by
the best electricians of this state, and
many of them are investing in the
various stores. The agencies are be.
ing placed by F. A. Blakeslee, who
can be reached by addressing in care
of the Fargo Heating & Plumbing Co
Of Fargo.
H. e. Wheeler of Minot, N. D., has
sole agency for Ward County. Any in
formation regarding the above will be
cheerfuIly furnished.
