Kerosene is the best of all illuminants and the cheapest. The Angle Lamp 

 makes it also the most satisfactory. It is the best of all kerosene lamps.

It is lighted and extinguished like gas. May be turned high or low without odor. No 

 smoke, no danger. Filled while lighted and without moving. Requires filling but once or 

 twice a week. It floods a room with its beautiful, soft, mellow light that has no equal. The 

 Angle Lamp has completely superseded ordinary iamps and other unsatisfactory or unreliable 



systems, and is constantly replacing gas and electricity in the homes of those who cater to com 

 fort and health. Just sit down and write for our catalogue "41 " and our proposition foi
