Three Vital
Reasons
“ I want to give every
person not using electric
light three vital reasons
why the General Electric
Mazda Lamp should make
them have their house, store,
office or factory wired.
First—
The G -E
Mazda
Lamp gives nearly three
times the light of the
ordinary carbon incandes
cent.
Second—
It costs no more to burn.
Third—
I l-e quality of light 't vastly superior--a clear
sui rays.”
white iight like
r h j General Electric Mazda Lamp represents the
high mark in the evolution of incandescent electric lighting.
It blends inventive triumph and manufacturing skill— and
y o u reap the benefit in the form ot dollars and cents, and
freedom from eye s’ ain when u • artificial light”
"I want the chance to p r o v e to y o u r entire satisfaction
that this wonderful lamp is even b e t t e r than represented.
