WHatever you decide about Boilers, 

 don't be talked into tKinkin^tHat one 

 immense boiler is cheaper to operate 

 tban tbree or four of an economical 

 size. 



That is, if you connect them up " Burnham way " in battery. 

 Just listen a minute and see if our argument isn't good sense : 

 With one immense boiler you have to run all that boiler all 

 the time, in all weathers. In the early fall and spring, when 

 only a little fire is wanted, it's bound to be an unwieldy, coal- 

 eating proposition. 



Now, suppose you had two or three " Burnhams " in battery : 

 then you could run exactly as much grate surface as needed. 



Some days only one boiler could do tKe \i^ork and tHe fire 

 in one of tbe otHers be banked or out altogether. "Witb tbe 

 " BurnHam way" you Have tHe wHole situation under per- 

 fect and economical control. We ^vould like very mucH to 

 ^ive you some proven out facts on battery work. "Write us.

'F you have been won- 

 dering in your mind 

 the way we take care 

 of the gutter when 

 """^ side ventilation is 



needed, as in graperies, then this sec- 

 tion will settle it. You see the gutter 

 is placed above the sash, not detract- 

 ing from the effect of the curved eave 

 or casting the shade it would if placed 

 at the eaves. Both side and ridge 

 operating wheels are secured to the 

 same column, adding to your con- 

 venience. It is not alone these minor 

 details that we would most forcibly 

 dwell upon, but the unmatched hght- 

 ness of the construction and the fact 

 that it makes a house as near like out- 

 doors as possible and still be indoors.
