Broadside. 4to (9½" X 12"). Illustration. Very good. Faint original folds (none weakened); tiny inoffensive stain at lower left (not touching text). Interesting if bibliographically cryptic handbill with title in four lines in a variety of large typefaces. At center is a graphic depicting a cutaway view of a small brick structure (labeled "Tank House") with pipe leading underground into the basement of a two-story commercial structure, where it connects to a gizmo labeled "Carburetter" [sic]; one pipe labeled "Air Pipe" leaves this device and ends outside above ground, while another pipe heads directly up the center of the structure, connecting to two wall sconces and two chandeliers. Although not dated, the paper, typefaces and graphic all suggest late 19th century vintage. Quite attractive and displayable.

First edition of this very scarce Progressive Era sales catalogue for the Delaware Gas Light Co. lighting system. Using patented gas lighting equipment developed by Roessler & Armington, this Easton Gas Co. subsidiary marketed this lighting system as better light than electric arc lighting at one fifth the cost, steady brilliant illumination, no blackening of mantles, no smoked ceilings, and no abnormal heat. The systems which were only rented to the consumer, featured a small high pressure pump invented by Roessler (1872-1939), and a separate reservoir, and piping -- all installed and maintained by the company. The photos show the styles which were available in copper or black enamel, assorted size and density glass globes from clear to opaque, and could be fitted with by-pass, lever, or chains to control the lighting. The Delaware Gas Light Co. had originated in Delaware, OH in the 1870's, and in 1903, was absorbed into the Easton Gas Co., along with Easton Fuel Gas, William's Township Gas Co., Forks Township Gas Co., and others becoming the Easton Gas & Electric Co.
