A Gas Well on Your Farm! 
FOR LIGHTING 
FOR COOKING 
FOR IRONING 
FOR WATER HEATING 
That ’S precisely what you can 
have—with a Colt Lighting-and-Cook- 
ing Plant! Artificial Gas that pro¬ 
duces the most marvelous light known 
to science—a light many times brighter 
than that given by gas as used by city 
folk; a light so near to sunlight it has 
coaxed hens into laying and vegetables 
into sprouting .... 
Gas that makes the hottest of cook¬ 
ing flames—boils coffee in four minutes 
by the watch. So clean you can draw 
a silk handkerchief across the bottom 
of a pan and not soil it. No odor while 
burning. No matches necessary to ig¬ 
nite it. 
Gas for lighting home, barn, drive¬ 
way and outbuildings— 
Gas for Cooking. 
Gas for ironing— 
Gas for water-heating— 
THIS gas is Carbide gas, and the 
simple Colt machine makes it for you 
automatically—when you need it, and 
only when you need it. Starts and 
shuts off supply automatically. 
Colt Plant Simplicity Itself 
The Colt generates this wonderful gas 
by mixing carbide with plain, ordinary 
water. It does all the work itself— 
there is nothing to get out of order. No 
expensive unit requiring replacement in 
short period of time. The gas is yours 
at the twist of fingers. And carbide is 
readily obtainable from warehouses at 
all convenient points. There is no 
waste. Even the residue makes excel¬ 
lent fertilizer and whitewash. Easily 
installed, and the cost is astonishingly 
reasonable. 
More Than 341,000 
Have Own Gas Well 
Carbide lighting and cooking is not a 
new-fangled, untried idea, the dream 
of a visionary. You will find it on more 
than 341,000 farms and country es¬ 
tates. Owners are enthusiastic about 
it. It makes their home stand out in 
the community. It makes it more val¬ 
uable, more cheerful and more com¬ 
fortable. It drives out the sweltering 
coal range—the dangerous, messy oil 
lamp that imperils eye-sight and home. 
Chases drudgery. Brings sunlight 
wherever wanted.
