Tungsten Lamps Make
Electric Light Much Cheaper
Ticy have two and a half times tho efficiency of the or
dinory carbon lamp hitherto in cn-:rr;l ubo. The fila
ment U made of a rare metal callc! Tungsten, which
yields an intense brilliancy at low c 3g1. In shape and
size the bulb is just like any other c. Ice brie incandescent
lamp. Why not try aTungstcn loir;t y surself? Get one
of the 40-watts and use it aomewhc: o in your house in
place of one of your carbon lamps. Then observe the
great difference. Note the clear white lights exactly
twice as brilliant and costing you one-fifth less for elec
tricity. Tungsten lamps are destined to displace all oth
ers, for both store and bouse lighting.
