We Not Only Sell Flash Lights
but repair them when worth while.
We keep fresh batteries on hand at all
times. An Edison Mazda light gives
100 efficiency; a Tungston only 85
efficiency; a Tungston light may be a
few cents cheaper at first cost, but re
member if they do last they collect a
toll every month they are in use.
In fact, lor the amount of candle power per
watt, the Mazda light at 27c will equalize a
Tungston at 25c and 5 per cent off for cash in
one montn.
