The idea of Illuminating a world
caught Hammers imagination and
he rushed about like a mailman
putting the place in order.
BY means of an overhead cable
the lamp factory was supplied with
all of it's electrical juice directly
from the laboratory three-quarters
of mile away.
This incidentally was an achieve
ment of the greatest magnitude.
The lamp factory really gave to the
world the first demonstration of
how current could be distributed
successfully.
Not until mankind learned this
secret would superpower ever be
anything more than a dream.
And the direct forerunner of all
the agitation that is going on today
for superpower was that first ex-
pertinent of Thomas A. Edison in
supplying his lamp factory with
electrical power and light from a
distance of three-quarters of a mile.
Ranked with Greatest Work
AT the time the feat went unno-
ticed. But in time it was to be
ranked with one of Edison's greatest
contributions to the electrical art.
The final chapter to the Edison
incandescent lamp was written in
the laboratories of the General
Electric Corporation. There scien-
lists put into use tungsten, discov-
cred after Edison's carbonized bam-

Tungsten brought perfection. 1t

JILL JUVLJ NEEDS MORE INCOME

Winter is approaching and the
 children's school expense will be higher this year than last. Bill looks forward to less income in the regular way Many industries have shifted to the "zigzag" plan for their employees in an effort to help everyone thru the winter. This means that each employee will have about half as much in- come. Prices of clothing and food have come down some, but not in keeping with the "zigZag" income. There will be just as much coal to buy and rent to pay. Bill must have more money than he can expect from his usual sources.
 He has some money in the Sav
 ings bank drawing per cent in terest. While it is true that money was put there for a rainy day" it isn't bringing him any income worth mentioning; and $20 or $40 or even $100 of that wouldn't go very far on a rainy day" He needs more money coming in.
 Bill Jones is the average Amer ican. He knows that many a man in exactly his financial condition has invested part of his money and has made enough return to give him the added income he needed. But Bill knows there is some speculation with every in vestment, no matter what it is or how good it sounds
 He doesn't know whether he should take any chances on either his savings account or his present income. Of course his savings ac- count is not absolutely safe; he realizes more money has been lost by depositors thru bank failures during the last 10 years than thru any single line of investment other than the stock market crash in 1929. Being a true American and realizing that nothing risked, gained" he likes to take 8 chance. Bill is a cautious fel- low and wants to speculate, but l he doesn't want to lose his money l
 So he losses aside all the wild l eyed" promises and impractical that flood the mails and seeks out a chance to specu { late with the safety of a flowing oil we'll to fall back on if the we'll he bets on turns out to be dry. If the new we'll comes in big, Bill should make a profit of 10 times his investment If he doesn't he still has his money where it should pay him dividends, 1 over a period of years, twenty 1 times larger than the savings 1 bank interest. And he has the 1 speculative chance of making i real fortune if the new we'll comes ] in good. He wants to speculate 1 with his fingers crossed, as it ! were, and that is exactly what 1 he does when he accepts our spe- i ,ial Pool offer, and shares in one gusher while we drill for another. !
