piness  to  over  398,000  farm  homes 
For  Ironing 
Discovered  31  years  ago.  An 
easy,  simple  way  to  light  and  cook  with 
gas  made  right  at  home  on  the  farm. 
Gas  for  lighting — for  cooking — for  iron¬ 
ing — for  water  heating — on  tap  24  hours 
a  day.  No  machinery  to  run,  no  expe¬ 
rience  needed. 
Union  Carbide  was  the  discovery — 
made  from  limestone  and  coke,  it  looks 
like  crushed  stone.  A  little  mixed  with 
plain,  ordinary  water  makes  Carbide 
Gas,  which  gives  the  most  beautiful  and 
restful  light  known  to  science,  as  well  as 
the  hottest  flame  for  cooking  or  water 
heating. 
It  remained  for  the  Colt  ‘Carbide 
“Gas  Well”  to  make  this  gas  automati¬ 
cally.  For  23  years  the  Colt  plant  has 
been  making  Union  Carbide  Gas  on 
thousands  of  farms  in  every  State  in  the 
Union,  and  in  many  countries  through¬ 
out  the  world.  The  Colt  “Gas  Well” 
requires  no  experience  to  operate — it 
does  all  the  work  itself — there  is  nothing 
to  get  out  of  order. 
Just  think  of  it!  Light  wherever  you 
want  it;  no  matches  required,  just  a 
twist  of  the  fingers.  No  more  messy  oil 
lamps  or  lanterns.  No  more  of  that 
groping  around  in  the  dark.  And  you 
can  boil  water  in  a  few  minutes,  or  cook 
a  meal  in  the  time  it  takes  to  heat  up 
the  wood  or  coal  stove.  No  ashes,  no 
dirt,  no  waste.  You  owe  this  comfort  to 
yourself  and  family. 
The  Colt  “Gas  Well  ”  will  make  your 
home  stand  out  in  the  community.  It 
will  make  your  place  more  valuable, 
more  cheerful,  just  what  you  have  been 
wishing  for  all  your  life.  And  Carbide 
is  eaily  obtainable  from  convenient 
Union  Carbide  warehouses  at  factory 
prices.
