Kerosene. DEYOE'S BRILLIANT OIG Is now universally recognized as the best Burning Oil which can be made. Recommended by the Fire Insurance Companies for Safety, and by all con sumers for the Brilliancy f its Light. In purchas ing this Oil the buyer insures himself and his pro perty against all chance of a Kerosene accident. Ask for DEVOE'S BRILLIANT OIL, and take no other. DIPLOMA of MERIT received from the Vienna Exposition of 1873 for Cans of various Tops and Oils. Devoe's BRILLIANT OIL is invaluable, to those who read or sew in the evening, as it gives a stronger light than gas, while much less fatiguing to the eyes.
