ACETYLENE GENERATOR 
Talk No. 1 
JUST A WORD WITH REGARD TO 
BiGhniIine YOUR HOME 
With my Patent Dissolving Process, you can have Artificial Sunlight in your home. 
By this process I have made Acetylene a practical commodity, indispensible to all who 
know its merits. I long since made a profession of the study of Acetylene, and its 
practical uses, and have solved the problem of HEATING and COOKING with 
Acetylene. 
Thousands are enjoying the use of this system, all over the land, owing to its supe- 
riority over city gas or electricity. 
It combines LUXURY and ECONOMY, as it is not only the most beautiful 
artificial light known, but also the cheapest. It is in daily use in many of the largest 
cities, as well as in smaller towns, and country homes. 
The machine is wonderfully SIMPLE AND EASY TO OPERATE, is installed 
in the home, and a child can operate it. 
The machines are perfectly AUTOMATIC, and will run for weeks, or months, 
without any care or attention, according to the amount of light used and the size of the 
machine installed. The Radiant only has this process. 
It is the SAFEST system of artificial lighting known, is used in many almshouses 
and similar places purely as a matter of safety.
