Credulity is the state of believing without evidence—of being easily misled. Amongst the most credulous people to* day 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 listen to his arguments, then see for yourself, think it over, and, if you are satisfied, then get it. When a traveller for tho "WIZARD'' Lighting System tells you that his plant is the beßt don't believe him. Ask for proof. This Is where he will get you, because he has tho proof, He can show you 1 (a) His lamps are. the only moth and fly-proof lamps on the market, Think j 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 aB well.

Wilson, corner of Stuart street and Octagon (postal address, Box 309, Dunedin), the sole agent for Otago and Southland, Several plants have now been installed n Milton, and intending purchasers may see a plant working and obtain all infor« mation from Mr T, G, Henderson..,.
