The Array of Gasoline Now Lights the World

N. C. Gasoline Hydro-C 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 per cent of your light bill, and get ACC per cent more ligh,.
 These lights average from 300 to 2,G0O 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 300 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 800 c. D. in gaso- line light would cost you only IA of cent per hour and you get white, soft, mellow 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.
