ELECTRIC LIGHT 
LL IMPROVE YOUR COUNTRY HOME 
The beauty and distinctive elegance which Electric Light imparts to 
the Country Estate are undeniable. No other light furnishes such clear, 
white and satisfactory illumination, no other so effectively eliminates fire 
risk, no other is so compact and unfailing. An Isolated Electric 
Lighting Plant will supply your country home with this perfect light no matter 
how far from a Central Lighting Station you may be. By equipping your plant 
with the storage battery called the 
‘Gblorfoe Bccumulatov" 
The Electric Storage batteryco 
1888 Philadelphia, Pa. 1913 
you secure a light of absolute dependability. The “ CblortDe Bccuntulator ”is the 
storage battery of the same type as used in the large city lighting plants, and needs 
to be connected with the dynamo and engine for only a few hours occasionally. 
It stores up and retains the electricity just as a cistern does water. When night 
comes the simple pressure of a switch sends the clear, white light to any desired 
part of grounds or buildings. The “ Cblortbe Hccumulator ” eliminates the old 
annoying necessity of running your engine at night and obviates the danger of 
breakdown at vital moments — it makes your light instantly available and alzvays 
dependable.

A NATIONAL WORK OF REFERENCE 
The American Statesman’s 
Year Book 
Edited by J. WALKER McSPADDEN 
A FTER months of careful preparation and a large outlay of money, one 
of the most important volumes ever published in America is at last ready. 
This book— THE AMERICAN STATESMAN’S YEAR-BOOK— 
is a National work of reference. Compiled directly from State and United 
States official reports, it places in your hands for the first time a complete and 
authoritative resume of the world’s activity. 
Here you may see, through official eyes, the exact, present-day condition— 
political, commercial, religious — of every State in the Union and every country 
in the world. The work is, in fact, a miniature encyclopedia, a supplement to 
all encyclopedias, supplying the recent things they lack—the very things the 
busy man needs the most. 
I consider it one of the finest publications to which 
my attention has been called for years. If there is 
anything you have not gotten into it, I have not 
discovered it. 
Hon. J. L. DAVENPORT, 
Commissioner of Pensions.

desire the latest and most authoritative facts—THE AMERICAN STATES¬ 
MAN’S YEAR-BOOK will prove of the highest value. At any moment you

globe, about your own state or city, about Agriculture, Education, Transporta¬ 
tion, Finance, Politics, Commerce. Religion, about a thousand other things.
