Galena, III., Jan. 2S. 1902. 

 Kroeschell Bros. Co. : — Tlie boiler I 

 bought of you is giving perfect satis- 

 faction. When the thermometei" stood 

 at 30 below zero this morning I could 

 hold the temperature at 60 very easily 

 with a saving of at least 25 per cent of 

 coal. It is "Without a doubt the finest 

 hot water boiler in the land, as it will 

 heat about double the amount of glass 

 that other boilers do with the same 

 amount of coal. It has proved so satis- 

 factory that I must express my feelings.

Chicago, Dec. i, 1903. 

 Kroescheli. Bros. Co. :— The two No. i boil- 

 ers you installed in my greenhouses at Hart- 

 land, Wis., did very satisfactory work last 

 winter. I had been using- cast iron boilers pre- 

 viously, but threw them out to put in your steel 

 bollera. Your boilers have done better than I 

 had expected; they require less coal, and 

 luueh less attention than did the cast 

 iron boilers. I estimate the saving In coal 

 with your boilers was about 15 per cent. To 

 anyone desiring- a perfect greenhouse boiler, I 

 would certainly recommenii yours.

Philadelphia, Feb. 27, 1903. 

 Kroeschell Bros. Co.:— We wish to tell you 

 how much we are pleased with your boiler we 

 put in last fall. It replaced two cast Iron 

 boilers, has done the work very much better. 

 requires ninch less attention, and besides 

 as near as we can judge, will use about 30 per 

 cent less coal than we have been uslDg-. This 

 coal item is not compared with only one sea- 

 son, but with at least 20 years' experience with 

 several ditferent kinds of cast iron boilers. 

 We are more than satisfied and have taken 

 pleasure In showing and recommending your 

 boiler to a number of growers.
