Be so near those of daylight that
colors could be properly matched;
that one could read by without

The Standard GilIett Light Co..
of 2o8 2Io Michigan ST., Chicago,
have at last achieved the crown
ing glory Of the success. Not on
ly does their light meet all of the
above requirements, but the cost

following results. One electric

of operating the electric light was
