THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1919.

How Much Money are YOU Losing by keeping your Card Records in old style cabinets?

the antiquated, hide-and-seek, hunt-and-search system.

THAT TIME SPENT IN HUNTING AND SEARCHING FOR A GIVEN CARD IS TIME WASTED?

THE ONLY VALUE YOU CAN POSSIBLY REALIZE FROM ANY CARD RECORD IS THE INFORMATION GAINED AT THE INSTANT OF REFERENCE. Slowly operated systems are expersive. What ron rayfer in Feriment ceren't indicate its "cost" In the geed old days ex teams were vaired around $500.00, but would you use ozen to-day in preference to motor trucks? Then why stick to old style card-in-the-box systems, simply because the purchase rice is small while the set of operating them is exorbitant! You pas many times the price through inefficient service while depriving yourself of the more efficient results possible with KARDEX Equipment. The price of KARDEX mas le mie than old style Equipmect but-

CO.,

(SPIRAL REFLECTOR LAMP)

GIVES 10 TIMES MORE LIGHT THAN A REGULAR LAMP.

The better light

Indor

The Spiral Reflector Lamp, invented by the Condor Lamp Manufacturing Company, at Venlo, Holland, called the Condor Sunlite and put on the market solely by the same Company, has removed an objection which was made, and not without reason, from several sides to the use of the drawn wire lamp. This objection was that a comparatively small portion of the light emitted by the drawn-wire lamp benefits the consumer, for this lamp sends its rays upwards and sideways, while not more than a relatively small percentage is projected downwards. An ordinary lamp of 25 normal candle power throws down only 4.5 normal candle power. The remainder is practically lost to the consumer who, in the majority of cases, is seated under the lamp. Condor's technici have remedied this evil by means of a device as simple as it is ingenious. In the first place, a loose shade of milk-glass was screwed to the top of the globe, fitting closely to it, whereby the light is reflected in a semi-circle downwards. As this shade, the reflector, is quite easily removed, it can be cleaned regularly, so that no dust need intercept. the rays of light. And when the lamp has burned out, the shade can be screwed on to a new lamp. Other improvements in the construction of the lamp itself likewise combine to increase the illuminating effect of Condor Sunlites. The peculiar shape of the globe, for instance, is specially cal- culated to do so. Added to this, the extremely finely wound spiral filament hangs in a circle in

the middle of the lamp, not as in the ordinary filament lamps, stretched up and down. The advan- tage of this arrangement as regards the concentration of the light-projection, will be clear even to the layman. Moreover, the source of the light of the Spiral Reflector Lamp, as compared with that of the ordinary drawn-wire lamp, being smaller, the ray of light is more intense, and the spiral acting like a spring, it will vibrate with every shock or jolt, but will not break. A Condor Sunlite of 25 normal candlepower projects 41 normal candle power perpendicularly downwards. Its actual luminous-power is, moreover, about 10 times greater than that of the ordinary lamp. The differences between the ordinary drawn-wire lamp and the Condor Sunlite may be summed up thus The ordinary lamp diffuses its light in all directions, the Condor Spiral concentrates the light upon one point; the Condor Reflector.throws the rays of light downwards. The comparatively small additional cost of purchase Condor "Sunlites costing slightly more than the ordinary lamps is thus outbalanced by the advantages which render the Spiral Reflector Lamp, with its pure white light, specially suited to those rooms where a light projection downwards is a first necessity. Especially in the judging of colours, materials, precious stones etc. in laboratoria, in short, in every kind of delicate

work, THE CONDOR SUNLITE supplies a crying need.

In 1679, a little shop was established in Amsterdam: there the worthy merchants hied them for their mid-day drink, there to-day still go the elite of the City's Commerce for their aperitifs of Half and Half." Have YOU tasted Half and Half"? If not, you are missing a daily joy. If so, it is only necessary to tell you that the other liqueurs of Wijnand Fockiuk are every bit as good-they have been justly termed liquid velvet."
