**Better Than Gas New Yorker: 
“TI have used The Angle Lamp far beyond the time set for trial and find that one can- 
not be too enthusiastic over it,’’ writes Mr. Granville Barnum, of Cold Springs, N. J. It 
certainly gives the brightest and at the same time the softest illumination one could desire.” 
“We lived, for some years, in New York City, and used the latest and most improved 
appliances, devices, etc., in connection with gas or electricity, and yet I must sincerely 
urge the superiority of this simple yet wonderful method of illumination. One can hardly 
say too much in its praise.’”’ 
Notice please, that Mr. Barnum has used gas and electricity with all the most approved devices for years. He, 
like thousands of others who use these systems, would probably have pooh-poohed the idea that an oil-burning lamp 
(or any other system for that matter) could be more satisfactory—zt7l he tried The Angle Lamp. 
He now admits that The Angle Lamp is fav superior. For he has found fro use that this oil lamp gives him 
all that gas or electricity can give in convenience and something more—kerosene quality light. It floods his rooms 
with the finest, softest, pleasantest of all artificial lights. 
Yet THE ANGLE LAMP Pays For Itself 
For where the ordinary lamp with the round wick, generally considered the cheapest of all lighting methods, 
burns but about five hours on a quart of oil, The Angle Lamp burns a fil sixteen hours on the sae quantity. This, 
even where oil is cheap,soon amounts to sore than its oréginal cost. But in another way it saves as much 
—perhaps more. 
Ordinary lamps must always be turned at //7 hezght, although on an average of two hours a night all that is 
really z«ededis a dim light ready to be turned up full when wanted. A gadlon of oil a week absolutely wasted, 
simply because your lamps cavzot be turned low without unbearable odor. AZ this is savedin The Angle Lamp, for 
whether burned at full height or ¢#xzed dow, it gives not the slightest trace of odor or smoke. 
Why White Light Causes Blindness

We have given yoz several good reasons why you should use 
Angle Lamps for lighting your home, reasons that appeal to your 
pocket-book, to your common sense and to your love of a well 
lighted, attractive home. 
There is one more reason, and itis the most important of all— 
the health of your eyes. The light of The Angle Lamp, while 
more brilliant than ordinary lamps and intensified by being a//Z 
thrown directly dozwxward upon your book, table or work, is of 
the soft, warm, restful quality for which kerosene oil is so justly 
noted—the quality which causes even the people who use gas or 
electricity for general lighting, to stick to oil lamps for reading or 
working. 
There are, you know, really but two kinds of light for 
home use. One is this splendid, soft kerosene light. The 
other, the thin, penctrating colorless light. such as comes 
from the use of a mantle, with gas or gasoiine and the 
acetylene light. : 
A few years ago this white light was quite the rage. City 
people had all their gas jets fitted with mantle bumers and 
country people tried gasoline. 
But they only used them fora little while. Then they went 
ack to the open tip burner and kerosene lamp. Not because the 
breaking of mantles caused a great deal of annoyance and expense, 
although that did have its influence. No, people went back to 
these older systems because they found that the enxetrating 
mantle light was fast rwzzzng their eyes. 
Do you know that the most conscientious American manu- 
facturers no longer manufacture what is known as the “ pure 
white’’ mantle? Simply because they found what all students of 
illumination have found—that the pure white mantle develops a 
light so thin and coloress and penetrating that it pierces the retina 
of the eye, and, like the X-Ray, paralyzes the optic nerve, soon 
causing blindness. 
Yet this pure white mantle, at_7rs¢ heralded as the perfect imi- 
tation of sunlight, is merely the highest development of the find 
of light which some people use because of penetrating qualities 
that enable them to read a long distance from the fixture. 
They either forget or failto appreciate the destructive effect of 
this very quality on the eyes. 
~Now that fact contains another thought for you about 
lighting—look out for any light that imitates the light of the 
sun too closely! For such lights are dangerous. 
Because when you read or work by sunlight you use only the diffused, 
softened light, never the @zvect rays of the sun, which so quickly dazzle 
the eyes. But when you work under artificial light you szs¢ always use 
the direct rays of light: for you know that you can’t read with someone 
‘* standing in your light.” 
Consequently artificial light mnst be of softer, warmer

quality than the sun’s direct rays. 
And that is just why kerosene is the most perfect illuminant: the d@zxect 
vays of the oil light contain just enough of red and yellow to give the 
softened, diffused zdirect rays of the sun. 
Now, Reader, if you are interested in a satisfactory lighting method— 
a method which will cause your friends and neighbors to exclaim ‘* how 
beautifully your home is lighted,” that will save you one-third to one-half 
of what your present system costs you, that will give you the operating 
convenience of gas and a light of the soft, warm quality which fully rests 
and relaxes the tired nerves of the eye—then write tor our catalog ‘‘41"’ 
and our proposition to prove our statements about The Angle Lamp by 
30 DAYS’ TRIAL 
Yes, write for catalog ‘ 41’’ and do it x0w. For surely when such people 
as Ex-Pres. Cleve.and, the R ckefellers, Carnegies and thousands of 
cthers find, after trying The Angle Lamp, that it is profitable to rip out 
gas and electricity, to throw out gasolene and acetylene outfits or ordinary 
lamps, it is worth your while to send a postal to find out about it.

years’ experience and experiments with all known ighting methods, are

A gas light controlled by no Gas Company 
or public-service corporation. a complete gas plant within 
the Jamp itself—automatically regulating its own supply, 
burning steadily, WITHOUT HEAT, ODOR or DIRT. 
This modern adaptation of Acetylene gas lighting to house-

for city or country houses than any other yet produced.
