OHIO'S BUSIEST CITY
CANTON'S PROUD TITLE.
By John E. Monnot,
Secretary of the Canton Board
of Trade.
In the Pittsburg Dispatch, Sunday, September 14, 1902, issue, under the above heading, in a very lengthy article, the following appears:
"Among the more important of Canton's industrial estab- lishments, the following are worthy of special mention: The Best Light Company, manufac- turing incandescent vapor gas lamps, which burn gas pro- duced within the lamp itself from common gasoline. This concern is the LARGEST of its kind in the WORLD, and is growing rapidly. Its argument to consumers is unique. 'Form a corporation with yourself, and own your own gas com- pany.' "

Etc.
As a result of the extensive advertising and business done by this company the mail re- ceived by The Best Light Com- pany is the largest coming to Canton. Every day orders are received from some of the forty-nine foreign agencies, and these orders, with the im- mense domestic trade of the company, keep the workmen busily employed the year round. The output of The Best Light Company is larger in volume than that of any factory of its kind in the world, and they are the heaviest shippers by either freight or express, in the busi- ness.— (From The Repository, Sunday, Sept. 20th, 1903.)

THE "BEST" INCANOESCEN1 VAPOR «■ \" LAMP 11 rely produces the
cheap«Bt and strongest Uk-ht on earth, it la absolutely safe, very bril- liant, powerful and steady. It i* Infinitely
or kerosene. One burner will give as much light as ten or«i i kerosene oil lamps, or six 16-candi ectrlc light bulbs, or six 16-c n I
ets, or five 20-candle power acetylene gas Jets, or as much as one hundred candles burning at out- time.
As each one hundred candle power burner consumes only one quart of Ine In fifteen hours, it will be readily seen that this light than ki naps, ai d the saving effected by the use o( nils lamp
quickly pays for It. Each lamp Is a miniature light works that manufactures and burns lis own gas; and as It Is portable, you can hang or set it anywhere. They wires, tubes or machinery of any kind, and arc the
of simplicity In every sense of the word. There are no wicks to trim, no smoke or smell, no dlrl o clean, and they are so simple In
ruction that iperate ilu-m with e ulsfactlon.
When you are In possession of one of these lamps you have simply formed a corporation with yourself and are absolute owner of your own Gas Works. You have no capricious gas meter to contend with. There are no dynamos to burn out and leave yon in the dark when the light is most needed. There are no fro;';': i gas pipes In midwinter, but you always have a good, strong, steady white light that can i upon. It is exceedingly easy to care for
and can be carried about from one place to another because the fixtures are portable. The light can be turned up or down the same as a gas Jet. or an ordinary kerosene oil lamp. When it is turned out. it goes out without flick- ering or smoking, and does not make a disagreeable noise or odor. With this light it is possible for the farmer of the most humble circumstances, or the country storekeeper to have a light equal to that of the city millionaire, the price being within the reach of all.
SAFETY. — Our lamps have been carefully examined, tested and permiu-'l by the Underwriters' Bureau of Fire Protection Engineering of Chicago, and the Southeastern Tariff Association of Atlanta, Ga.. and many local under- writers' associations. Any lighting device passed by these bureaus can bD relied upon as being absolutely safe. Insurance companies give permit* gratis, as they recognize the lamp to be safe in every sense of the word. Ii< fact, our lamps are safer than kerosene oil lamps, as the vent-tube In a kero- sene oil lamp Is liable to clog at any moment and cause an explosion. Such conditions do not exist In the "Best" Vapor Gas Lamps. The fount is Isolated from the burner so that It is always cool. The surface of the fluid Is not within one or two inches from the flame, as In a kerosene oil lamp, but it is always a goodly distance away so that the heat cannot generate gas in the fount.
Statistics gathered by fire insurance underwriters show that over 50 per cent, of the fire waste of the country is caused by electric light wires (imper- fect Insulation, etc) and that for every dollar's fire loss through gasoline there are two dollar's loss through kerosene. The Indianapolis Fire Insurance Co., of Indianapolis. Ind. says that "the universal use of the 'Best' Vapor finx l.nmpN would largely tend to lessen the fire waste of the country." There can be no stronger endorsement given as to the safety of a lighting device.
CONSTRICTION. — We have had over thirty years' experience in manufac- turing all kinds of burners and fixtures for producing light and heat from oils. It naturally follows that the "Best" lamp Is the most practical, scientific, sim- ple, durable, elegant and perfect on the martcet. To put it in a nutshell, the "Best" lamp is the best lamp, and as every lamp is guaranteed for one year, the purchaser will readily appreciate that a reliable concern would not guar- antee an article unless it has been positively proven beyond a doubt that It Is
as near perfection as It Is possible to make It. All ot our I
f'om the very best of ncaterlal by up-to-date, modern machinery, and none but
skilled and cd workmen are employed.
VARIETY 01 BTxXBS. — We manufacture by far the laric<— t rarletj «.f
[ncandevcenl \ apor Gas l.titnnM In the world, and have the largest, oldest and :omplete Incandescent Vapor Gas Lamp Works in th«- Unlt-d States, We
are the only manufacturers that make their own ilxtures, from the brans i Ings up to the finishing, polishing and lacquerln
in all styles, from the pla rate. As some of tb«
Ilxtures are finished very artistically, ti used In the finest drawing-
rooms in the land and will be an ornament. We make all styles of lamps for ranging from loo to 2.000 candle power. Our hn- i, under gel ravlty pressure and air pressure
lamps of every description) also iiiuh ami Ion pressure nicotinic systems*
OFFICIAL GUARANTEE*- We hereby guarantee the gravity "Best" Vapor Gas Lamps manufactured by us under our numerous patents, for a period of two years as to construction and practical mechanical working, and stipulate that they produce a light from 80 to 100 candle power, provided they are ban- ding to Instructions. Should any lamp fall to fulfill this guaraj we will replace any parts which upon Investigation prove defective with new without charge. This does not apply to mantles, shades, chlmneya, or glassv-
PATENTS. — We are absolute owners of many original patents, and now have many patents pending In the United States and foreign countries. In- fringers will be vigorously prosecuted.
WARNING. — The "Best" Vapor Gas Lamps have had many Imitations and there are still a few on the market. While the "Best" lamps have been Im- itated, they have never been equaled. The "Best" lamps are In a cln»» distinctly their own. They are the only Vapor Gas Lamp that have stood the teal of dine. Beware of cheap Imitations and Infringing fixtures; also pirates who copy our printed matter. This light Is often referred to as "The Light made In Canton." In short, it is the light that made Canton famous. Remember the name. The "Bent" Light.
