JUST A WORD WITH REGARD TO 



LIGHTING 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. 1 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.

The World's Greatest Cement Stone Machine 



THIS is a reproduced photograph of the Weldon 

 Apartment House, at Greenfield, Mass., buili 

 cement stone made on the Hercules. C| On this 



machine, so simply constructed, the most marvelous 

 results are obtained. It will make solid or hollow- 

 blocks, pillars, sills, lintels, coping or ornaments of any 

 kind from 2 inches up to 6 feet. It will make two 

 blocks of the same size and design or of different sizes 

 and designs at one and the same time. <| The Hercules 

 will make more stone and better stone in less time and 

 for less money than any other machine. We can't 

 prove that statement here, but if you will take the 

 trouble to send for our handsomely illustrated 68-page 

 catalog, it won't take but a few minutes to convince 

 you. Ask for Catalog C.

BEAUTIFUL 



DOORS 



Add to the attractiveness of your home and give the 

 impression of elegance and refinement. Write today for 

 "The Door Beautiful," a handsomely illustrated book- 

 let, and learn the wonderful progress that has been made 

 in the manufacture of artistic doors. This book shows 

 you many individual styles in beautiful doors for private 

 homes, and explains how you can know that you get the 

 quality you pay for. 



We are making it possible for the builder of to-day to 

 obtain hardwood veneered doors that will harmonize with 

 the architectural features of the house and can be used in 

 connection with any style of interior finish or decoration. 



Made in Colonial, Renaissance, Empire, Craftsman, 

 and many other styles for inside and outside use. 



We stamp our name " Morgan ' ' on the top of every 

 hardwood veneered door we sell. It is your guarantee of 

 perfection, the manufacturer's pledge of quality. We will 

 gladly replace, free of cost, any Morgan door that fails 

 to give absolute satisfaction.
