That Little Brother of the Sun Acetylene Light Made From Calcium Carbide
An explainer describes acetylene light produced from calcium carbide and water. It details calcium carbide production from lime and coke, storage in water-tight drums, and the chemical reaction when carbide meets water forming acetylene which burns as a bright, cool, odorless light.
Acetylene Lighting Offer Promises Cheaper Illumination
An advertiser claims Carbide costs 33 percent of a cent per pound in most states and that acetylene light at 4 cents per pound yields strong candlepower for a fraction of the price. The pitch asks readers to provide room counts or store size to suggest suitable generators and complete installed costs, with contact to Acetylene Jones at Adams Street, Chicago Illinois.
