Kerosene- CAMERON'S DTAMOND KEROSINE OIL, 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 frep from smoke, smell, odour issuing from common Oils, and burns longer without trimming or crusting the wick than any other Oil. 0000 For Sale by all dealers in New Zealand. Sole Agents in Auckland: JOHN R.O BBBTON & C 0., DURHAM STREET. "noWNEE'S KEROSENE, 3b. Cd. PER GALLON. DEVOE'S KEROSENE, S. PER GALLON. Deltvrred i>r any Paiit of the City. Reasons Why DOWNER'S KEROSENE OIL Should! bo used by Consumers in preference to *hy w\,t& Petroleum Oil. Ist.'lt is safe, having a fire test of never less than j 125° Fahrenheit. j 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 be removed except by their process, 3rd. The Downor Oil being chemically pure, burns with more brilliancy of flame, consuming less oil for a given amount of light. It .jives less trouble, because I ihe Lamps require less frequent filling, and the wick less frequsnt trimming. 4th. Although the Downer Oil costs more per gallon 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 as the highest standard brand. This reputation has 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.
