Lamps. 'T & S. MOEEIN 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. SILBE R, Esq., FOR £40,000. THE GREATEST DISCOVERY AND MOST COMPLETE SUCCESS EVER KNOWN Has been attained by A. M. Silber, Esq., of London, who has invented (after three years' careful experi ments) a new style of Lamp having the following and many other advantages over any Lamp in existence, viz:— The light showing as near as possible ; perfect combustion ; consuming every portion of the oil; does not throw off any offensive odour at anytime like ordinary Keroseue Lamps. Consumes the oil most economically, and gives a wliite, brilliant, and steady light. Perfect safety from EXPLOSION, as the body of the oil, being separated by an air jacket which surrounds the 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 and security over all others. They h.re adaptable for all purposes of illumination where gas is ijOW employed, whether in private houses, public buildings, factories, railway stations, railway carriages, ships' lights, signal , stations, type-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 Engli market we are furnished with extracts from the Lrndon Times, Mm ing Journal, Lancet, &c, all of which testify to their SUPERIORITY OVER ANYTHING HITHERTO INVENTED. ! And, as a further proof, wo may state the following companies have substituted these Lamps in prefer ence to those previously in use, viz :— Metropolitan, '' Great tern, Great Western, South Eastern, London and Brighton, London, Chatham and Dover, and : North London - Railways; the Inman,- Ounard, and . Pacific Lines of Steamers; also, the Light-house Lamp or the 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 letter received by the Patentee from W. Valentin, Esq., F.C.S., Principal Demonstrator of Practica Chemistry, in the Royal College of Chemistry, London, he remark?, "That the SILBER LIGHT produced by the burners constructed on these new 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, is fully equal to from 40 to 50 per cent, without any increased con sumption of oil. My experiments, which will be found in detail in the " Journal of the Society of Arts of December 23, 1572, show that a light can be pro duced from mineral oils from FORTY to FIFTY PER CENT cheaper than the same light from coal gas, costing THREE SHILLINGS and NINEPENCE per 1,000 cubic feet." The testimonials received by Mr Silber are ve»y numerous, and al express surprise and admiration at the immense success he lias obtained, and any one desirous of perusing the same we shall be most happy to furnish with those in our possession. i The First Shipment of these Celebrated Lamps arrived in the Hindostan, consisting of TABLE, HALL, STREET, AND WALL LAMPS y Also, COOKING APPARATUS, Fitted with. \ SILBER PATENT BURNER, TO ? THE* ORDER OF \ T. & 8. MORE IN, t who have been appointed f SOLE AGENTS FOR NEW ZEALAND. .1 ■ ■ . i 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 jnto this market, anil invite an early inspection of theßaroe, t, & sTmoerin, . \ -SOLE 'i[G E N T-;S, I QtfEEK-STREET.
