QUIRK PATENT SAFETY AIR-GAS.

♦— | THE RECOGNISED LEADER-IN j THE commercial BACEE. j : HTHE POPULAR FAVOURITE" FOR COOKING, HEATING, 'AND LIGHTING. WEEKLX COOKEBY DEMONSTRATION TO-MORROW. To speak in racing parlance at a. time w hen "the sport of kings" is engaging the attention of most people, Quirk Safety Air-Gas is indeed "the recognised leader in the field," and has hecome "the popular favourite" far cooking, heating, and lighting in country . homes. And the reasons are not far to seek —they are outstanding and conspicuous to anyone who has seen the plant at work in the firm's showroom (163 Manchester street, opp. Bedford Row). One has really to see for oneself to appreciate all the points in its favour. Chief amongst tho factors which commend this new system is its convenience the fact that one can cook, boil the kettle, bake bread and cakes, iron, heat water, enjoy- gas fires from up-to-date radiators, and brilliantly illumine every room in the house as well as ' convert the midnight darkness of the farmyard into daylight. All this and •more can be done with this, tho king of lighting system's. And no less important in the winning Df popular favour for Quirk Air-Gas is' the fact that the system is simple and Automatic. It is not necessary _ for one to be a mechanic to work it—it is as simplo, in fact, as the winding daily of one's watch, and requires just as little technical knowledge to do the job—tho two are exactly parallel and similar in the sense of being mechanically perfect. Once a Quirk Plant is installed,. therefore, to work it is a simple operation. .. Put one light on in the house and the Quirk Air-Gas Plant starts working— " jo silently and slowly, you can hardly . \cll it's on the move; put more lights on one after the other and seo how it speeds up automatically. Then shut nil the lights off and immediately your machine stops —not another drop of spirit enters the generator until next night when; the lights are turned on again or until, perchance, owing to sickness, it'g necessary to boil a kettle on tho gas-ring or cooking stove during the midnight hours—a convenience and necessity which country people now en- \ joy since the advent of Quirk Air-Gas. And on top of all the conveniences ami utilities above-mentioned is the fact that Quirk Safety Air-Gas is nonpoisouoas, non-asphyxiating, and absolutely non-explosive. It is simply impossible to havo ah explosion with this lew system, and there is no possiblo danger whatever of fires emanating from it. This is probably one of the greatest factors in its favour, and is certainly the reason which has contributeu largely to the phenomenal • sales. To hear and feel the gas belching forth from an open pipe, as ono can do in tho firm's showrooms, and to see a lighted match applied to the gas only to be blown out, is an argument in •favour of this now and safe system which takes a lot of beating. 'Country people now in town for the ■ ■ holidays are invited to attend the usual Weekly cookery demonstration which will \o held to-morrow in the film's sho>v.•ooms in Manchester street, opp. Bedford Row. Free afternoon tea will "be provided as usual, and an actual cookery demonstration will be given, 1 : commcncing at 3 o'clock. The wonders .and practical working of the system will be fully explained by the firm's . /employees. ~ .• Those unable to come to town should write for particulars. Also ask where you may see a plant. These are now installed most districts, and every , user, of Quirk machines is only too happy to show his installation to a . friendly neighbour.- "Write The Man..lEor, Quirk Air-Gas, Ltd., 163 Manchester street.
