Kerosene- C AMERON' S DIAMOND KEROSINEOIL, 112, AND OVER FIRE TEST, And Guaranteed Non-explosive. 0000 WE call your attention to this Oil, ■which we recommend for families, being as white as pure spring water and perfectly free from smoke, smell, odour issuing from common Oils, and burns longer without trimming or crusting the wick than iiny other Oil. 0000 For Sale by all dealers in New Zealand, Sole Agents in Auckland: JOHN KOBERTON & CO., DURHAM STREET. "HOWNEE'S KEEOSENB, 3b. Gd. PER C/.LLON. DEVOE'S KEROSENE, s. PER GALLON. Delivered in any Part op the City. Reasons Why DOWNER'S KEROSENE OIL Shouldl bo used by Consumers in preference to »uy nine Petroleum Oil. Ist. It is safe, having a fire test of never less than 125' Fahrenheit. 2nd. It is finished by distillation, without treatment with acids and alkalies as the last process. It is double distilled for the purpose of removing the acids and alkalies used in the manufacture of all Petroleum Oils, but which cannot bo removed except by their process, 3rd. The Downer Oil being chemically pure, burns with more brilliancy of flame, consuming less oil fora given amount of light. It less trouble, because ' the Lamps reqirire less frequent filling, and the wick less frequent trimming. 4th. Although the Downer Oil costs more per gallpn than other oils, it is, in the end, cheaper for the con sumer, because it gives a greater amount of light with consumption of oil. Your grocer may tell you he has on sale an oil in uality equal to Downer Oil. Don't believe this story. Downer Oil is quoted and known all over the world jas the highest standard brand. This reputation has I been achieved by its having been made by a better process and more costly than others, which process has been adhered to from the beginning, without re gard to expense.
