Credulity.
Credulity is the state of believing without evidence—of being easily misled. Amongst the most credulous people today are thoße who invest in a petrol gas plant for lighting their premises, on mere appearance, or on *the statement of a slick traveller.

When a traveller for the " WIZARD " Lighting System tolls you that his plant is the best don't believe him. Ask for proof. This .'a where he will get you, because he has the proof, He can 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.

G. Henderson....
