LIGHTING A RANCH.

In deciding upon lighting system
for your ranch, the important things TO
consider are the initial cost of the plant
and installation, the cost of operating
and upkeep and the durability you can
expect as represented by the guarantee.
During the past three years there have
been over sixty of the HUNTER
ACE 4LENE systems sold on Camas
prairie. and there has not been one dol
lar spent by the entire number for re-
pairs or requirements.
I own the patents on the HUNTER
lACETYLENE GAS GENERATOR.
Electric plants are my only competi-
ton and they do not compete as to light,
but argue "Power." ANY disinterest-
ed electrician will tell you that an
electric iron uses the most "POWER"
of anything they can run.
The HUNTER does not furnish power.
It won t take few minutes work off
of the man s hands at the separator
every day, but it runs an iron just as
conveniently and more economically
than electricity and when summer comes
and the wife has to get the meals, she
can have gas stove and do her cook
ing with the same comfort and at less
expense than her city sister. The
economy of cooking and ironing with
this system has been thoroughly demon
strated by many of the largest ranchers
on this prairie for the past three years.
Do you know that cities require a
rigid inspection by their inspection de-
partment of ali wiring and electrical
work installed before they will permit
the current to be connected to it, and
that they require the wiring run in con-
duit to make it doubly safe from caus-
ing fires?
Did you know that even with all pos
sible restrictions and precautions taken,
the annual statistics compiled by the
old line fire insurance companies show
more fires caused from electric wires
and apparatus than by all other causes
combined? This is matter of record
and can easily be- verified by you.
THERE is NO WAY A HUNTER
CAN CAUSE FIRE. 1t
IS absolutely safe
A few manufacturers of electric
plants guarantee them for 5 years;
Mostly not over years and the guaran-
zee is usually on the batteries. Why
Tot guarantee the entire system? At
he end of the guaranteed period you
'ay for all repairs and the rebuilding
f you storage batteries. Ask some
f you friends who have repaired their
ar batteries, about the expense of il.
the manufacturer does not guarantee
lectric plants for more than a few
ears, what issuance has a prospective
lstomer that they will stand up be-
Ond that length OF time7
Every owner of HUNTER gets a Z
ritten guarantee from the manufac- -
rer for FIFTEEN YEARS. =
Electric plants cost from $500 to $500
II the plant and the wiring fixtures
I'd labor all cost, which runs the price
} considerably. The Hunter systems
Id on the prairie have averaged less
an $375-not one as high as $500, and
at is completely installed-no extras.
Twenty to 80 minutes to 5 times
ar according to the lights you burn
all the attention it requires and the
ference in first cost put on interest
Il about pay for the carbide you use.
The Panama canal is lighted with
lliant, white acetylene. There's
lson. It's the best artificial light on
eth and there is practically no wear
to it, Systems installed by me in
; east 10 years ago are in satisfactory
grafton today.
Turn your evenings into daylight
h a HUNTER-the system with q
| guarantee.
