ILLUMINATING OIL, FROM JULIUS IVES & CO., No. 49 Maiden Lane, NEW YORK, MANUFACTURERS OF IVES' LAMPS. PATENT THE BEST IS ALWAYS THE CHEAPEST! Every barrel of Oil received directly from us, with the above brand on the head, can be relied upon as being "NONEXPLOSIVE," and perfectly safe for use. It is no new or suspicious compound of inferior materials but the best quality of REFINED PETROLEUM or KEROSENE, and with a good wick, in a good lamp will always give a clear, steady, white flame, emit no sparks or offensive odor, will not incrust the wick or consume as rapidly, is not so unpleasant to handle, and what is especially important, is not inflammable and dangerous as are the miserable mixtures of Naphtha and other nefarious ingredients with which the country is flooded by dishonest speculators, who live by adulteration and fraud. By a thorough and expensive process of distillation and refining, the inflammable and dangerous properties (Gasoline, Naphtha, &c.) of the Crude Petroleum are removed, the presence of which in "cheap," partially-refined Oils, render them not only explosive and unsafe, but their more rapid consumption in the lamp proves them to be any thing but "cheap," or economical. The fact that the so-called "Kerosene Accidents " occur almost without exception among the poorer people, who feel compelled to buy what is sold at the lowest price, should convince every one that the few cents a gallon supposed to be saved, is more than balanced by the constant hazard of explosion, saying nothing of the increased consumption of oil, hard, stiff wicks, mean light, bad smells, &c. This universal use of Kerosene Lights demands from each individual the most strict vigilance and caution that they, their families, and the public generally, may be protected from the explosions, fires, and terrible disasters that may result from the use of bad kerosene and "light oils," but which are impossible with the use of SUPERIOR STANDARD OILS. Congress has enacted a stringent law, punishing with fine and imprisonment the sale of adulterated illuminating oils, but it is unavailable and of no value, so long as the people, whom it was intended to benefit, prefer to be imposed upon by the offenders against the law, who could not sell their productions if the public would not buy them. We first commenced the sale of oil in small quantities, not for its profit, but for the accommodation of a few purchasers of our lamps here in the city; but so wide-spread is the inquiry for GOOD OIL, and so general has been the satisfaction with the quality and price of what we supply, that it has become an important part of our business from all parts of the country, and we are now prepared to execute large or small orders, thus affording the public an opportunity of obtaining from a reliable source a superior article, with the assurance that the quality will be unquestionable, and the price but little, if any, above that usually paid for aa inferior article. Oil is best transported and kept for family use in barrels, and, like flour, should be bought in that way, rather than at With Iron Frame, Overstrung Bass, and Agraffe Bridge.

We can speak of the merits of the Waters' Pianos, from personal knowledge, as being of the very best quality.-Christian Intelligencer. The Waters' Pianos are built of the best and most thoroughly seasoned material.-Advocate and Journal. Our friends will find, at Mr. Waters' store, the very best assortment of Pianos, Melodeons, and Organs, to be found in the United States.-Graham's Magazine. MUSICAL DOINGS.-Since Mr. Horace Waters gave up publishing sheet-music, he has devoted his whole capital and attention to the manufacture and sale of Pianos and Melodeons. He has just issued a catalogue of his new instruments, giving a new scale of prices, which shows a marked reduction from former rates, and his Pianos have recently been awarded the First Premium at several Fairs. Many people of the present day, who are attracted, if not confused, with the flaming advertisements of rival piano houses, probably overlook a modest manufacturer like Mr. Waters; but we happen to know that his instruments earned him a good reputation long before Expositions and the "honors" connected therewith were ever thought of; indeed, we have one of Mr. Waters' piano-fortes now in our residence (where it has stood for years), of which any manufacturer in the world might well be proud. We have always been delighted with it as a sweet-toned and powerful instrument, and there is no doubt of its durability; more than this, some of the best amateur players in the city, as well as several celebrated pianists, have performed on the said piano, and all pronounce it a superior and first-class instrument. Stronger indorsement we could not give.-Home Journal. HORACE WATERS & CO. L |
