sten Lamps Make
Electric Light Much Cheaper
T :zy have two and a half times the efficiency of the or
(i.ntiry carbon lamp hitherto in generd use. ' Tho fila
ment is made of a rare metal called Tungsten, which
yields an intense brilliancy at low c ;cl. In shape and
size the bulb is just like any other c .sciric incandescent
lamp. Why not try a Tungsten lom; yourself? Get one
of the 40-watts and use it somewheivt in your house in
place of one of your carbon lamps. Vhen observe the
great difference. Note the clear white light, exactly
twice as brilliant and costing you one-fifth less for elec
tricity. Tungsten lamps are destined to displace all oth
crs, for both store and house lighting.
