Dutch "Bettys" of the XVI. 

 Century 



The lamps of the sixteenth century were 

 as primitive as the lamps of four or five 

 thousand years earlier. But about 1610, 

 Dutch metal workers produced lamps 

 known as "Bettys" made from tin, pewter 

 and copper, which were exported to other 

 countries. To-day our homes are flooded 

 with light. We can read, sew. write and 

 work in comfort. The brilliant, soothing 

 light, produced by 



Laurel Kerosene 



Tht soft white light 



is pure and clean, giving a mellow light 

 that is restful to the weakest eyesight, and 

 keeps the oculist away. No fumes, no 

 smoke, perfectly safe. For lighting, heat- 

 ing and cooking it cannot be excelled. 

 Laurel is our new trade mark name for the 

 highest quality American Kerosene ever sold 

 in Australasia and replaces our old brand. 

 White Rose.
