Their Beautiful Simplicity is admired by all who see them. Scientists, Experts, and Users who have tested them say that they are FAR AHEAD, and possess numerous advantages OVER ALL OTHERS in the Market.

The Machines are SAFE, and a lighted candle may be held to the Machines when in use. Anyone can manage them who can attend to an ordinary Paraffin Lamp, and with nearly as little trouble and greater safety. There are no COVERS (which are dangerous), no SCREWS, SPRINGS, LEVERS, VALVES FLOATS, CATCH PITS, DRAIN, or SLUDGE COCKS to get out of order; no Smell or Dirt.
