Dorchester, Mass., May 17, 1906. 

 Messrs. Holly-Castle Co. 



Dear Sirs: — In reply to your in- 

 quiry regarding the amount of 

 coal consumed hy my heating 

 system I would say that I have 

 used 56 tons costing $337.50 during 

 the past winter. 



I 



L 



Mr. Dickerman puts the consump- 

 tion last year at 75 tons of egg size. 

 I haven't been able to get the exact 

 figures as yet, but will endeavor to 

 do so if possible. 



It would seem conclusive from 

 the above figures that there has 

 been a saving over last winter of 

 19 tons of coal, which, at $6.50 per 

 ton, makes $123.50 saved. It aas 

 cost me $26.00 for power to run 

 circulator, which, deducted from 

 $123.50, leaves $97.50 as the total 



saving on coal. Add to this the 

 wages of a night fireman (necessary 

 on previous winters but dispensed 

 with during last winter) for four 

 months at $40 per month and you 

 have a total saving of $257.50. 



You are at liberty to use this 

 letter in any manner you desire as 

 I have the bills and statements to 

 back it up. 



Very truly yours, 

 THOMAS R. MATTHEWS. 



If you find anything in the above letter that interests you, write to us.
