Amongst the Ancient Greeks, 

 950 B.C: 



In the Greece that Homer has immortal- 

 ised in verse, lamps were in regular use, for 

 the bard sings of a "Festival of Lamps." The 

 Lamps of Ancient Greece, were made of 

 pottery or metal. Grecian maidens used to 

 set lighted lamps before the oracles when 

 they wished to consult them. Whilst this 

 custom no longer prevails, the trimming and 

 care of her lamps is an important part of 

 many a housewife's duties. 



Laurel Kerosene 



The soft while light 



Reduces cleaning operations to a minimum. 



Laurel Kerosene feeds freely to the wick, 

 and burns without smoke, flicker or smell; 

 giving a brilliant, clear, white light restful 

 and soothing to the eyes. Laurel is our new 

 trade mark name for the highest quality 

 American Kerosene ever sold in Australasia 

 and replaces our old brand, White Rose.
