TROUBLE
Why? Because the light
the Aladdin gives is surprisingly ample
and abundant in quantity and is of a quality
closely approaching sunlight, the kind of light
nature provided for the human eye. It saves you
money, too, because it is so economical of fuel,
and its splendid light banishes trouble in read
ing, writing, sewing, studying, or any evening's
work or pleasure. Aladdin light, itt simplicity,
its safety, its economy, its beauty, and its deco
rative and practical features must, however; be
seen to be appreciated. If you need more and
better light, come in at your first opportunity
we'll be glad to demonstrate one to you without
the slightest obligation.
