The story of the Lamp First "Improved" Lamps, 1783 A.D In 1783, M. Argand, a Swiss Chemist, introduced a glass chimney and burner with a circular wick, which supplied oxygen to the flame and prevented smoke. One of Argand's workmen was holding a bottle over the flame when the bottom of the bottle fell out. He dropped the hot bottle over the burner and a better and steadier light was the result. Successful lighting depends on the steadiness with which 4 lamp burns. Laurel Kerosene The soft white light being specially manufactured by white labor for Australarcssi conditions, gives the ideal light. Laurel burns without a flicker and is brilliant, but restful to the eyes. For lighting, heating and cooking, it cannot be excelled. Laurel is our new trade mark name for the highest quality American Kerosene ever sold in Australasia and replaces our old brand, White Rose. Insist on Laurel Vacuum Oil Company Proprietary Limited Wellington, Auckland, Dunedin, Christchurch, Invercargill, Timaru, Napier, Gisborne, Wanganui.
