Be sure yon arc right boforo yon go ahead, is good advice that applies to the light business as well as othei business.

If Tho boll has sounded tho knell of korosone, gnsolino lights nnd other fonus of incompotent illumination. Aro you ready to quit themf Haven't you tolerated them lonp ouough? There was a 'time whou buromjj pitch faggots furnished tho only means of artificial illumination folks knew alont. And it was considered sufficient. Then camo tho tallow dip, and or exybody discarded his pitch faggot in disguest. Tho tallow caudle was noxt to ox ort its supremacy over tho tallow dip, and folks wore glad. Tho noxt step of development was korosine lamps, and they in their turn were welcomed as a ploasiug stop in tho right direction. Then camo tho gasolino lights, which Jacksonville tnod and cast into the junk pile several years ago. And now aa a logical development of science, wo have tho greatest of all illuminante electricity. Mnybo some day something will replace electricity. But tho probability isn't strong enough to justify us in waiting for it No othor fonn of artifieiul' ilium iunnt equals electricity in brilliancy, safety, neatness, healthfulness, econ omy nnd cheerfulness.
