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. 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.

The 



Kimball Soloist 



Enables the performer 

 to execute certain 

 parts like the flute, 

 oboe, clarinet, etc., 

 and to furnish simul- 

 taneously an orches- 

 tral accompaniment. 



The extreme simplicity of this idea adds mate- 

 rially to the strength of its position. Its oper- 

 ation is direct and perfect, and it is always ready for 

 action, easily governed, and with the simplest direc- 

 tions gives the correct interpretation. 



Residence pipe-organs of large and small capacity 

 are built with this Soloist, or solo-device, but they 

 can also be played in the regular way, making instru- 

 ments for professionals or those without training. 



Call or write for particulars.
