Reasons Why DOWNER'S KEROSENE OIL Shouldjbe used by Consumers in preference to «uy •ii.no Petroleum Oil. Ist. "lt is safo, having a fire test of never less than 125° Fahrenheit. 2nd. It is finished by distillation, without treatment with acids an.l 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 c.uuiot bo removed except by thoir process. 3rd. The Downer Oil being chemically pure, burns with more brilliancy of flame, consuming less oil fora given amount of light. It gives less trouble, becauso ■ the Lamps require) less frequent filling, and the wick less frequent trimming. 4th. Although the Downer Oil costs more per gallon than other oils, it is, in tho end, cheaper for the con sumer, because it gives a greater amount of light with consumption of oil. Your grocer may tell you ho 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 j as tho highest standard brand. This reputation has been achieved by its having been rnado by a better process ana more costly than others, which process has been adhered to from the beginning, without re gard to expense.
