THE SOVEREIGN IS IT DIMINISHING IN VALUE? Careful records have been -kept by the Government since the war started, and the Statistician can tell us exactly what increase has taken place in the prices of nil staple commodities. These records prove that a sovereign to-day will purchase only from 65 to 75 per cent, of thfe amount of clothing or household necessities it. would in 1918. This increase in prices has caused a considerable amount of hardship among t'lie workers in large towns and cities, but it does not affect the farmer to any extent, as he is more than compensated by the increase in prices received for his woo! and produce. -Many farmers are also making up for the increased cost of living by installing money-saving appliance? in their home 3 and on their terms. An outstanding instance of the economy that can be made in this direction 'is ■ the fact that hundreds of farmers .ind other country residents in Now Zealand are saving a considerable amount of money every year by using "Wizard" Lighting Systems in their homes, in place of expensive kerosene lamps and acetylene gas. Messrs Early Bros., a!) Cuba street, Wellington, state that many "Wizard" Light users claim tl'at they save the value of their plants th 3 first year, besides doing away with ,ali the disagreeable work and worry that is inseparable from kerosene or acetylene. The first cost- of a "Wizard" Lighting System is practically the only cost; after that the saving made in comparison with other forms of lighting soon pays for the plant, and the householder is supplied with a light that is even •uperior in quality to electric light or ctal gas. There is nothing to get out of order, and the plant is guaranteed for five years. The fact that several times more "Wizard" Sytsems are being sold in the Dominion than all other forms of country lighting combined proof positive that the "Wizard" Light is in a class by itself. Early Bros, receive most of their orders through the mail from people who are recommended to purchase by friends who are already using the "Wizard." One of the reasons why customers are pelased is that the agents keep in close touch with them, and are always prepared to back up their five years' guarantee. It therefore appears that although the sovereign will not purchase as much goods as it would before the war, the money spent in a "Wizard" Lighting System actually purchases nfueh more than the value of the money, as the lamps save the purchaser money every time they are lighted. Mr J. Robinson, Gladstone Hotel, Fairlie, canterbury, who has ■been using a "Wizard" Plant for about a year, claims that he gets six times as much light for half the cost of running compared with bis acetylene plant. The following is a copy of Mr. Robinson's letter: — "Dear Sirs,— "I have much pleasure in stating that jlie sinteen-light plant installed by your firm into the Gladstone Grand Hotel excels all expectations. Before installing your plant we were using acetylene, and on comparison find that your plant and system of generation is less than half the price of acetylene. Regarding: the latter my man has to spend one 'hour per day cleaning and recharging the plant, whereas your plant does away with all labor and refuse; it only takes five minutes to adjust, and this only every second day. "This is practically a saving of one day's labor in seven. I cannot speak too highly of your Petrol Gas System, which I coneider more complete than any other systefn on the market; and wish to state that the light as installed to us is six times greater than the acetylene, and may also state is much softer to the eyes. y "Faithfully .yours, > (Sgd.) "j. Robinson, "Gladstone Hotel, Fairlie." A postcard to Early Bros., 59 Cuba street, Wellington, is all that is required to obtain further information, GS
