IN THESE HARD TIMES

SOMETHING FOR NOTiHINC. "In these had times you've got to put up with anything. In these hard times you cannot pick and chooae; But :f you are looking for comfort at night It's highly essential to have the best light—. - If - the, WIZARD'S installed I guess you'ro all right. In these hard times." (Dispense with the music, and sing it The - 'air' is free.) There is not doubt whatever about the hard times at present being felt by almost everyone. The sovereign is fast diminishing in value, as the Government Statistician's records prove that a sovereign of to-day will purchase only from 05 to 7o per cent, of the clothing, or household necessities, it would in 1913. llany farmers are making up for the increased cost of living by installing moneysaving appliances in their homes or on their farms. In looking into the merits «f same of these appliances, one, in particular, stands out in a class of its own, by virtue of its power to utilise something that everyone gets for nothing. Fortunately, the ring trust, combine, limited liability company, joint company, or any other concern, does not jet exist that can buy up in bulk and retail in small parcels the fresh air that we breathe. Some years ago a clever inventor brought out a pa-tent for using ordinary air mixed with benzine vapor for driving motor-car 9 and the like. It now comes to pass that this same mixture is being used for .lights, but the most remarkable fact about the latter is, the light being obtained by using nearly all air and only a very small proportion of benzine vapor (97 per cent, air, 3 per cent, vapor). This mixture, in an ordinary WIZARD lamp, used in most of the more up-to-date country residences around New Zealand, produces a three-hundred candje power light at a running cost that actually needs to be experienced to be believed—it is so small. If in doubt aibout this point, a?k any of the "WIZARD OGHT" users, anywhere around your own district. Some of your owjj neighbors are bound to be enjoying the benefits derived from this perfect light. One of the "WIZARD" salesmen lately was told bv an Opunake shopkeeper that, where he was paying away £1 2s 6d per week for a carbide light, he now only expends Is 6d per week for benzine to keep his WIZARD LIGHTING SYSTEM going. This is a plant for five lights, installed six months ago. He not only gets a far better light, but saves something like £54 12s per year. His satisfactory results may be yours for the p. siting. 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. A twolight plants costs £l7, each additional light £3 17s 6d. There is nothing to get out of order—tie plant is guaranteed for five years- You light with an ordinary matrii (no methylated spirits required), the jet is kept clean automatically (no primus pricking needles), and you have the experience of some 4000 users around Neiw Zealand, including the Government Departments, Military Gamps, Salvation Army, and Y.M.C.A., etc., etc, to go by; Write now for free booklet giving further details, to It H.
