N.B.—There were 142 Explosions by Oil Lamps in
London alone last year, involving loss of life.
An OIL LAMP burns ONE PENNYWORTH OF PARAFFIN OIL in 8 hours, and gives a light equal to only 16 Candles. It is much dearer than a GEM GAS BURNER, which makes ONE PENNYWORTH OF AUTOMATIC GAS last about 12 hours, and gives a light equal to 30 Candles. In fact a Gem Burner is nearly equal to 4 Oil Lamps. That is to say, a Gem Burner will give you about as much light for a Farthing as an Oil Lamp will give for a 1d.
AUTOMATIC GAS costs you nothing for fitting it up. The Gas Company instal it free of all cost. The following fittings are supplied free for your use:—
One Swing Bracket for Hall Light.
One Pendant or Bracket for Sitting Room.
One ,, ,, Kitchen.
One Swing Bracket for Bedroom.
One Boiling Ring and Tube to boil Kettle, etc.
By payment of 5s. for fixing you can have a good Gas Cooker Free of any Rental, or a better one for 10d. a month.
Remember Automatic Gas saves a lot of worry and trouble in the house. Half-an-hour’s more rest instead of getting up earlier to light the fire. The Oil Man need not call. No dust or ashes, and no Dustman to call for them. The Coal Man need not call. No bundles of firewood wanted. You simply put your penny in the slot and the Gasworks does the rest.
