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 

 pra6lical 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.

Think of the Pleasure 



"BUILT THE PREMIER WAY" 



A Portable 

 Summer Cottage 



Premiers make pleasure — did you know 

 that ? 



There is no outing- like the Summer Cot- 

 tage outing- — it has a charm of its own. 



Premiers are portable — and practical. 

 They can be erected in a few hours — 

 but last years. 



Of course they're just as duraWe as a 

 permanent house, more suitable, and— 

 one-third tlie cost.
