SUCH AN UNEXPECTED PLEASURE!
THE GREAT ADVANTAGE OF HAVING ELECTRIC LIGHT "BROUGHT TO YOUR VERY DOOR," WITHOUT ANY PREVIOUS NOTICE. OF THE IDENTICAL DAY, TOO, WHEN YOU ARE GIVING  A PARTY, AND YOUR FRIENDS WON'T BE ABLE TO GET WITHIN SOME YARDS OF YOUR HOUSE. AND THEN, SO NICE FOR LADIES IF IT RAINS!

Punch, 12th July, 1890
