ELECTRIC LIGHT? 
There is no reason why you should not be—no reason why your 
home should not be equipped with electricity, regardless of how 
far out in the country it is situated. 
Electric light has been made possible, in its most convenient form, 
for every country house, by the individual Electric Lighting 
Plant. This consists of a small gas engine, a dynamo, a switch¬ 
board, necessary wiring and a storage battery called 
«&Cblotf&e Bccumulator’ 
The “ Cbloribe Bccumulator ” is to an individual Electric Light¬ 
ing Plant exactly what a reservoir is to a water system. It stores up 
the electricity generated by the dynamo and holds it until light is 
needed. All you need do is to run your engine for a few hours occa¬ 
sionally; and the battery will then store up enough electricity to 
furnish light over an extended period. Light, too, that is at the com¬ 
mand of your hand on a switch exactly as though it were supplied 
by a big city Lighting Station. 
Our book, “Country Home Electric Lighting Plants,” tells the full 
story of the Individual Electric Lighting Plant. Write for it to our 
nearest sales office.

FENCING AGAIN POPULAR 
The fad for tearing down fences and obliterating all division lines seems to have 
run its course. Property holders now demand some protection and privacy. It is 
also true that the only way to get the average individual to walk on the walk, is 
to make it impossible for him to cut across the lawn. 
The great popularity of Excelsior “Rust-Proof” Fences is due to four things: 
They do not obstruct the outlook; they do prevent trespassing: they are quickly 
erected: they never have to be painted, because of the heavy coating of melted zinc.
