DA YLIGHT PRISMS, HE general avei'sion to artificial lighting iu daytime, in oiu- great cities, is

apparent lay the general acceptance of prismatic lighting. The efficiency of DAYLIGHT Pnisaw in diffns-iiiig the ufttural light is LIO longer a matter of experiuieut or speculation, as the results achieved l)y their use have placed

them in the category of standard commodities, in the constructiou of Laildings, with architects, contractors, builders and owners of property.

Large expenditnres of time and money were sl.wnt, by tlie Daylight P r i m Company, 111 experiinente, to In'iiig its complete system to tlie highest standard. Success followed, as is attested by the many flattering testimonials found i u the following pages. The handsome ~nxsiiis.s, aa exhibited in the illustratious, are one of the prominent feat-ures of DAYLIGHT P~rs~rs . We are the originators and sole uiai~ufactiir~rs of o i t s ~ i n i i r r ~ ~ . DESTGXS in ~ ~ S M A T I C i~lst.dlatious, producing results that nre frequently allttded to* as beiug wonderful ancl amazinq. ~ ~ v r . m i r r PRISMS installed, iu this manlier have the greatest refractive power, i& largest prismatic surface, and the least opaclue matter to ohstruet the refraction. D AYLTOIIT PRISMS diffuse the light prac- tically, transmitting it to the desired places i n office, atore or room, and giving it a moat even distribution throughout the room, producing the most cheerful effect. These essential features are worthy of consideration, by those seeking 'satisfactory prismatic results.

Banking aucl comnercial offices, "where artificial illn,minations are resorted to, are bold in the commendhtion of the resists ~"btaiiied by DDA-TSIOIIT PKTSMS in restoring' the

natural light, so new-ssirtiy for the accuracy uf work of its ~inpluyes. The ntility of DAYLIGHT P~iisxs hi factories and shops, where delicate work is performed, has demonstrated their practicability. But in no place have the advantages of DAYLIGHT PRISMS Jxen so satisfactorily demonstrated as in the residence district, where we have lighted inany dark parlora, halls and dining rooins; or in flu& or apartments.

Estimates are freely nificle, and to those contemplating an installation of prism lights we suggest that an opportunity be given one of our representatives to view the premises and. surrouudiiigs. Wlien it is not possible to view the premises onrselves, we would request our patnrons tu give as full a (.lwcriptioii as possible.

With an exact measurement of the ope i i i~~g for prism glass. The heiglit and depth of rooms. Width of street or court. Approximate height of building opposite. As these measurements are essent.ia1 to enable ~ i a to f~~riiisli t . 1 ~ proper prism

angle, to give'the best possible results. 0 1 1 1 8 prices are as low as will conform with good workmanship and material, and an estimate will convince you of the fact.

The saving' in gas and light bills will soon pay for the expense of installing D ~ ~ i , i o i r r Pisisxti.

GENTLEMEN: The I)aylig-ht Prism& which you installed i u front of the Temple Cafetier, 177 Monroe Street, last month, <u8e a wonderful snc- cess, and far beyond my expectations.

Practical, because the light diffused into tlie iiiteriora, floods uiy Cafetier with clear, beautiful daylight, making it so pleasant for my patrons.

Economic-al, because the large expense bills for artiiicial lighting are so much reduced, and the saving soon pays for the Daylight Prisnis. And the cLesign you gave me. makes the appearance of my building' attrac- tive, and proves to be a great drawing card to my business.

I am free to confess that, I never paid a bill more willingly, because I the results I received are so satisfactory.
