THE "WIZARD LIGHT."

WHY IT EXCELS. Nearly three thousand complete 'Wizard" Lighting Systems have been sold in New Zealand during the past three and a half years, and if all the i eountry. houses, stores, churches, banks, post offices, etc., fitted with the "Wizard" Light were brought together they would form a city of about 24,001) population. Before the advent of the "Wizard" Light, kerosene lamps and acetylene gas were in general use, but up-to-, date country householder and storekeepers find that the "Wizard" gives them a superior light to city coal gas at much less cost, and they are entirely independent of gas or coal strikes. The great success of the "Wizard" Light has produced the usual crop of imitators, but "Wizard" Lamps are patented and cannot be copied. Fifteen years ago "Wizard" Lamps required a torch dipped in methylated spirit to start them, but the up-to-date "Wizard" Lamp lights with. a. match, and 'is almost as easy to light as town gas. The "Wizard" is the only hollow wire lighting system on the market that is fitted with lamps that will light with a match and have 'automatic needles to "keep the jets clean. The others are all made on the obsolete designs discarded by the "Wizard" years ago. They require an asbestos torch dipped in methylated spirit to light them, and the jet must be pricked with a ■special needle, just the same as a primus stove. If the methylated spirit bottle is empty lamps are useless'. To light the "Wizard" Lamp, all that is necessary is to strike a match, hold it to the generator for a few seconds, then turn on the light. « "Wizard" Lamps are specified for use in all new country post offices, wireless stations, etc.; large numbers of lamps are also used by the Railway Department, military authorities, banks, halls, churches, etc., throughout the : Domini.on. In fact, the "Wizard" Light is recognised as the most up-to-date and efficient, medium of country and. suburban housp lighting in New Zealand. Householders should write to Mr. TT. ITBlake, P.O. fonx 03, Elthain ('Phone 120), for full particulars and prices of the wonderful "Wizard" before being persuaded that some other light is "iust as good-" Complete two light plans £ls, each additional light, £3 10s, installed.
