The Light Of The Seven Seas
The Story Of Vaclite

Illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll THE LIGHT OF THE SEVEN SEAS iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Have Always Used Vaclite From the very opening of our Baltic Line, we have used on all our steamers your Gargoyle Vaclite when cleaning the steam boilers and for lighting purposes in the coal room, etc. We are persuaded that your Vaclite gives full safety with regard to danger from fire, and, in comparison with other lighting materials, it is economical, according to our observations. BALTIC LINE, THE RUSSIAN EAST-ASIATIC STEAMSHIP COMPANY Ltd. Vaclite in Cold Weather One of the largest steamship companies in the Far East recently made a trial of Vaclite upon one of their steamers. During the trial they found that a Vaclite lantern burned satisfactorily in the open with a temperature of 170 Fahren- heit i.e. 150 Fahrenheit below freez- ing (8° below freezing Centigrade). Vaclite 30% to 60% More Economical Using for some years in our warehouse your Gargoyle Vaclite, we are pleased to testify to you its economy as compared with petro- leum (over 60 per cent.) and Stearin and Rapeseed Oil (over 30 per cent.) and its fireproofness (cool and smoke- less flame). Everywhere we introduced Vac- lite to shipowners in our port, we heard same to give satisfaction, thereby building up for itself a steady demand. WEIDEMANN & SCHEFFLER, Riga, Russia.
