THE BEST COUNTRY LIGHT.

Quirk's Automatic Safety Gas.

To provide the country residents in particular with a single, practical, and efficient system for lighting, cooking, ironing and heating is a problem which has always presented many difficulties, and lias engaged the attention of engineers for a consiaderable time. After I a long series of exhaustive tests and experiments and many years of practical' experience; Quirk's, Ltd.^ have perfected a system which has proved itself during the past few years to bo entirely satisfactory, and which successfully overcomes all objections, and has been specially designed to suit New Zealand conditions. Quirk's is the only patent machine which will manufacture a; gas under varying outputs, fluctuations of temperature, and during indefinite periods of time. The production of Quirk's air gas is carried out in an automatic machine driven by weights. The machine requires no attention beyond winding the weights and filling with petrol, a duty to which a child can attend. The generation of the gas is effected by means of (certain quantities •of petrol becoming vapourised in a chamber partly, under pressure. Air is introduced through the suction chamber, and as the petrol enters drop by drop gas ia instantly formed. In the Quirk generator the prospective purchaser is offered a machine so simple a3 to present no difficulty whatever in any working feature or in any mechanical principle involved. The Quirk is a practical machine, the result of accurate work, and the production of the oldest firm of petrol gas engineers in Australasia. The machine of highest repute, its efficiency is vouched for by vigorous expression of complete approval spontaneously rendered by hundreds of satisfied users all over, New Zealand. Country residents would do well to make further inquiries from representatives at the present Show, where demonstration of both the hollow-wire and automatic system is given. The company's office and depot is in Cuba-street, Palmerston North.
