MCINTOSH BATTERY AND OPTICAL CO., CHICAGO, ILL., U. S. A. 77 THE McINTOSH-ARNOLD SELF-CONDENS- ING OXYGEN RETORT & CYLINDER. PRICE $ 100.00 DESCRIPTION. Nos. i, 2, 3, 4 are Unions, A retort, B Safety Blow-Out, C Check Valve, D Wash Bottle, E, F, G Globe Valves, .//Gauge, I cylinder, J Flexible High Pressure Tubing. In this outfit we pre- sent to the exhibitor the triumph of mechanical ingenuity and skill; no pumping, no carrying up and down stairs of heavy Weights for your gas bags; no fear that some thoughtless or mis- chievous boy can pierce the bag with his knife blade; does all the work itself, and all the gas left over at the close of an enter- tainment is saved for the next exhibition; saves 50 per cent of the cost in the manufacture of oxygen over that purchased al- ready compressed.
