iThe Lamp of Steady Habitsl 



The lamp that doesn't flare up or smoke, or cause 

 you to use bad language ; the lamp that looks good 

 when you get it and stays good; the lamp that you 

 never willingly part with, once you have it ; that's 



Cbe new Rocbe$fen 



Other lamps may be offered you as " just as good " 

 — they may be, in some respects, but for all around 

 goodness, there's only one. To make sure the lamp 

 offered you is genuine, look for the name on it : every 

 Mew Rochester lamp has it. 



We make oil stoves too, just as good as the lamps; 

 in fact, anything in oil or gas fixtures.
