EDISON, THE GENIUS OF THE AGE.
To-day the old system of illumination is giving way to the splendors of electric glow. With man's progress came the much needed question of artificial light.
[Original]
Electric lights not only adorn the streets of our cities, but grace our parlors, furnishing a stronger, a cleaner and more healthful light than any other known. To Thomas A. Edison, who was born in Milan, Ohio, in 1847, belongs the glory of bringing electricity for lighting purposes to a successful basis.
