Drawing showing “method of using the Series Incandescent Lamp manufactured by the Thomson-Houston Elec. Co.” cut from your pamphlet and pasted on a similar sheet.


A photographer of La Fayette photoed the Gas Company’s plant of T & H in this city one evening at 10 o’clock when several lights were burning in room. I had a large one printed and pasted on a piece of bristol board of the same size as this sheet, and put in my original copy.
