Credulity.
Credulity is the state of believing without evidence—of being easily misled. Amongst the most credulous people today are those who invest in a petrol gas plant for lighting their premises, on mere appearance, or on 'the statement of a slick traveller. To get the best plant for your money you should first J ; sten to his arguments, then see for yourself, think it over, and, if you are satisfied, then get it. When a traveller for the " WIZARD " Lighting System tells you that his plant is the best don't believe hiin. Ask for proof. This is where he will get you, beoause he has the proof, He oan show you ; (a) His lamps are the only moth and fly-proof lamps on the market, Think what this means, The mantle on which the gas burns is a very frail thing, and a large moth or fly striking it would invariably break it, and probably the globe as well. When the "WIZARD" was first introduced into New Zealand the lamps were not fly«proof, and the sub« sequent trouble with moths, etc., showed the firm that an absolutely flynproof lamp was essential in New Zealand, and they have consequently now got it. (b) His lamps can all be hted with an ordinary wax match, (c) That his lamps are not only lit, but are also provided with an Autos matic Gleaning Needle. All information regarding the " WIZ« ARD" pan be supplied by Mr P, H, Martin, of Milton, G. A.

G. Henderson....
