[10 Oct., 1916- 



With Rome in its Glory, 64 A.D. 



The luxury which Rome lavished on itself 

 at the time of Nero was reflected in the 

 lamps of that period. Magnificent stands 

 holding six or eight lamps adorned the 

 homes of the wealthy. Olive Oil was com- 

 monly used in these lamps. The better 

 classes, however, generally mixed perfume 

 with their oil to counteract the strong smell. 



Laurel Kerosene 



Ihe soft white light 



When Laurel is used there is no smell. 

 Laurel gives a brilliant, clear, white light, 

 without flickering. The last thimbleful 

 burns as well as the first. For lighting, 

 heating and cooking, Laurel cannot be 

 excelled. Laurel is our new trade mark 

 name for the highest quality American 

 Kerosene ever sold in Australasia and re- 

 places our old brand, White Rose.
