installations from persons who have
seen the new and powerful light that
has such a soothing glow withal The
demand has been so brisk that the
Gas Company has had the lamps ship
ped by express instead Of freight re-
Gently so there will be no delay.
The Gas Company also has a spien-
did showing of de luxe gas lamps m
its display window at prices so low
that they will be as pleasing as the ar
tistic finish OF the lamps themselves.
