The Array of Gasoline Now Lights the World

N. c. Gasoline Hydro Carbon Lights have come to stay. There are more gasoline lights sold now than ever before in Pine Bluff and the country, for reasons as follows: You save 75 Ter cent of your light Dill, and get 400 per cent more light.
 These lights average from 500 to 2,000 candle power and are adapted for the homes as we'll as business houses. The difference in the cost of gasoline lighting and that of elec- tricity is as follows: To get an av- craze of 800 candle power of electric ity, you would have to use in 16 c. D. globes 31 globes at an average cost of 1c per hour, would cost you 31c per hour, whereby 500 c. D. in gaso- line light would cost you only IA of a cent per hour and you get white, soft. smelow light that does not af- feet your eyes. These lights are ap- proved by all fire insurance agencies and do not increase your rate of in- surance.
