TUNGSTEN LAMPS
AT REDUCED PRICES.
By reason of our baying Tungsten Lamps in large quantities we
are able to save about 10 per cent in our cost. We have decided to
give our patrons the advantage of this saving, and are offering the
standard size of Tungsteoi (Mazda) lamps at the following prices:
25 watt Tungsten (Mazda). $ .75
40 watt Tungsten (Mazda) 1*00
60 watt Tungsten (Mazda). 125
"Mazda" is the new name. The lamps are a little better than
ever and the efficiency a little higher. Remember, you can burn two
25 watt Mazda or Tungsten Lamps on less current consumption than
one common carbon lamp, and yon will have more than twice the
amount of light. ThevMazda Lamp has the same length of life as the
carbon. We will be pleased to demonstrate. Call at our office and
let us shotf you.
