Ihe NEW SOUTH WALE 3 SHALE AND OIL COMPANY are now iu a position to turn out about 50,000 GALLONS of their KEROSENE OIL per month, which, with very small outlay, could be doubled, and it is simply a question of time when they will manufacture enough to supply tho whole of the Australian Colonies. Superior in quality to any imported oil, and much lower in price, tho "COMET" OIL is justly regarded as THE BEST, THE SAFEST, and CHEAPEST ILLUMINATOR. As a proof of the superiority of the Comet Oil over all other brands, the following letters are selected from a number of others lately received from the trade and consumers " Australasian Steam Navigation Company. 'Sydney, June 13,1874, " Dear Sir,—For the last four or five years we have used none other llitm Kcrosono Oil manufactured from the Hartley Shale. We have noticed that it has steadily improved in quality; and for a period of two years, that is,' since your company came into existence and manufactured your Comet Oil, it is all that can be desired. Throughout a large fleet of steamers, with a consumption of about 600 gallons per month, in a variety of lamps and lanterns, subject to great changes in temperature and sudden draughts in saloons, engine-rooms, and in mast-head and side lights, this oil is put to a severe test, and we find it equal, if not superior to any other kerosene oil procurable in these colonies. "I ?m, dear sir, youre faithfully, (Signed) "Rom. F, Philps." "Fied. Phillips, Secretary." " Hunter River Steam Navigation Company "Sydney, 2nd April, 1874, "The Secretary New South Wa'es Shale and Oil Company (Limited), "Dear Sir,—l have much pleasure in certifying that, since the improvements.effected nearly two years ago in refining yaur oil it has been used by this Company continuously for illuminating purposes in the saloons and engine-rooms of our steamships, and for mast-head and side lights -for all which purposes we have found it to be equal to the best American kerosene oil; and I have no doubt, when the excellent quality of your oil becomes known in the other colonies and in foreign places, it will supersede any other kerosene oil. "Yours sincerely, "F, J. Thomas, Manager," The Company's SHALE has found its way for GAS MAKING PURPOSES into all parts of the world, including New York and San Francisco. The supply is unlimited; and its richness, both for gas production and illuminating power, is unequalled.
