'*■■■■•-.-. Lamps. rj* & S. M 6~B~E~T"^ IRONMONGERS AND IRON MERCHANTS, AUCKLAND, Invite especial notice to their First Shipment of the SILBER'S PATENT LIGHT COM PANY'S LAMPS, Ex Htndostan-, from London, This Company having purchased the Patent Right from the Inventor, A. M. S ILBB IX ,Esq. , FOR £40,000. THE GREATEST DISCOVERY AND MOST COMPLETE SUCCESS EVER KNOWN Has been attained by A. M. Silbcr, Esq., of London who has invented (after three years* careful experi ments) a new stylo of Lamp having the following and many other advantages over any Lamp in existence, viz :— The light showing as near as possible ; perfect combimtion ; consuming every portion of the oil; does not throw oil1 any offensive odour at anytime like ordinary Kerosene Lamps. Consumes the oil most economically, and gives a white, brilliant, and steady light. Perfect safety from EXPLOSION, as the body of the oil, being separated by an air jacket which surrounds tho wick case, and connected only by a tube which does not allow the flame to communicate with the body of the oil, natu rally keeps the oil cool, and "explosions" are hereby prevented—this fact alone proving an immense advantage und security over all others. They we adaptable for all purposes of illumination where gas is now employed, whether in private houses, public buildings, factories, railway stations, railway carriages, ships' lights, signal stations, typo-setting rooms, street lights, &c. AT ONE-FIFTH LESS THAN THE COST OF GAS. To show the high standing these lamps have gained ' in the English market we are furnished with extracts from the London Times, Miniwj Journal, Lancet, &c, all of which testify to their SUPERIORITY OVER ANYTHING HITHERTO INVENTED. And, as a further proof, we may state tho following companies have substituted theso Lamps in prefor once to those previously in use, viz :—Metropolitan, Groat Eastern, Great Western, South Eastern, London and Brighton, London, Chatham and Dover, and North London Railways",; the Inman, Cunard. and Pacific Lines of Steamers; also, the Light-house Lamp or tho Liverpool and Mersey Dock Company, as well as Signal Lamps for various railways, and have largely supplied Street and "Wall Lamps for the East and West Indies. In a recent lotter received by the Patentee from W. Valentin, Esq., F.C.S., Principal Demonstrator of Practical Chemistry, in the Royal College of Chemistry, London, he remarks, " That the SILBER LIGHT produced by tho burners constructed on these now principles is whiter and steadier than any light I am acquainted with, and the increase in the illuminating power, as compared with that from ordinary burners hitherto in use, la fully equal to from 40 to CO per cent, without any increased con sumption of oil. My experiments, which will bo found in detail in the " Journal of the Society of Arts of December 23, 1872, show that a light can be pro duced from mineral oils from FORTY to FIFTY PER CUNT cheaper than the samo light from coal gas, costing THREE SHILLINGS and NINEPENCE per 1,000 cubic feet." The testimonials received by Mr Silber are very numerous, and al express surprise and admiration at the immense success he has obtained, and any one desirous of perusing the same wo shall be most happy to furnish with those in our possession. The First Shipment of theso Celebrated Lamps arrived in the Hindostan, consisting of TABLE,. HALL, STREET, AND WALL LAMPS ; Also,* ' COOKING APPARATUS, Fitted with SILBER PATENT BURNER, TO THE ORDER OF T. & 8. MOREIN, ■who have been appointed SOLE AGENTS FOR NEW ZEALAND. From careful examination of the reports to hand, and from the high credentials furnished by our Agent at home, the importers have every confidence in saying they are by far the SAFEST AND MOST ECONOMICAL LAMP EVER INTRODUCED into this market, and invite an early inspection of tho name. -.
