CANDLESTICKS.
269
DRUMMOND'S CANDLESTICK ! Something new,
And just the thing for every family requiring light; and so cheap too, that every one, rich and poor, can buy. Itis a
Neat Candlestick!
Making and Wicking its own Candles out of Cold Tallow, Lard, or any Grease that will burn.
By simply turning the bottom of the Candlestick, a beauti- ful, hard, smooth Candle is forced out of the top, and at any desirable length you wish, from one inch to two feet high.
1 .- It is as neat and simple as a common candlestick ; con- sequently may be managed by a child.
2 .- By means of this, you convert all your refuse greese into candies ; and thus obtain a light at from five to seven cents per week.
3 .- The wick is dry and smooth, thus no vibration or flicker- ing of the flame, but burns like a sperm candle.
4 .- The wick may be changed without at all disturbing the candle , if too large, put in a small one ; or too small, a large one.
5 .- You coil in the bottom of the candle maker, or candle- stick, wick sufficient to last five or six weeks, where it remains out of sight and out of the way.
-
6 .- You may keep your candle at the same height all the time for ten years-no stumps or pieces left.
7 .- Requires replenishing with greese or tallow once a week. 8 .- No spilling of greese if it falls or.turns over, but as neat and cleanly as any lady could desire.
