The Story of the Lamp 



English Bull's Eye Lamp of 1750 



Attempts were made in the mid-seven- 

 teenth century to better the lighting 

 qualities of lamps, but the improvements 

 were entirely superficial. Bull's eye glasses 

 on either side of the wick were introduced 

 about 1750. They hrij;htened the light to 

 a certain extent but the flickering, smoking 

 wick was still in evidence. 



A clear, steady light is best obtained with 



Laurel Kerosene 



The soft while light 



It neither smokes nor smells and is free 

 from sediment. Laurel Kerosene burns 

 evenly to the last thimbleful and is the most 

 economical kerosene in actual use. 



Laurel is our new trade mark name for 

 the hijihest quality American Kerosene 

 ever sold in Australasia and replaces our 

 old brand. White Rose.
