If you are too far from a lighting 



plant, you can light your home with 

 the Aplco System 



There is no longer the slightest need of going without the convenience and com- 

 fort of electric light ; you can install the complete Aplco system and furnish electricity 

 for any number of lights up to twenty 16-c. p. as well as power for small machinery. 



The Aplco Electric Lighting System 



is the most compact and convenient outfit made. It weighs only 

 360 pounds; occupies a floor space of 21 x 38 inches — 30 inches 

 high. The price of dynamo, switchboard, battery and gaso- 

 line engine, (1£ horse power), ^complete on one base, is $200. 

 Only two wires to connect. 



You will want to know more about this splendid system by 



which you can not only light your house, but your stables, 



garage, milk house and all other outbuildings. If 



you will write us, we will send you a special circular 



which will provide for the details you need to know.
