WILL I r BURN 

 SOFT COAL? 



When a man asks us 

 that question about 

 our boilers, we under- 

 stand him to mean, are all surfaces easy to get 

 at, to clean. It is the gum and soot which 

 collects so rapidly on the fire surfaces, that 

 decreases the efficiency of a boiler. Look at 

 the interior of the corrugated — could any- 

 thing be simpler to clean ? The sectional has 

 separate clean out doors to each flue, so that 

 settles that question. The rest is told in a 

 brief, right to the point way in the new cata- 

 . og. Send for it.

FORGETTING COSTS 



Every time your employe forgets to 

 let the air out of the pipes, all cir- 

 culation in that run of pipes is 

 stopped — your pipes are cold. 

 It's bad enough to chill the plants, 

 but there's your coal burning just 

 the same — and no return. 

 Our Automatic Air Header never 

 forgets — so don't forget the Auto- 

 matic. Send for catalog. 



We make every part of a greenhouse 

 but the glass. We sell any part<.

The combining of roof bar and rafter in one 

 makes possible the only successful curved eave. 



With U-BAR GRAPERIES 



the side glass is carried down 

 to the sill, which is placed just 

 above the grade line. This 

 gives a grapery, that in connec- 

 tion with the wide glass spac- 

 ing and extreme lightness of 

 the entire construction, is al- 

 most like growing grapes out- 

 doors, as far as light and sun- 

 shine are concerned. . The 

 curved eave, the wide glass 

 spacing, and mildewless alumi- 

 num paint finish are points that 

 go to make U-Bar graperies 

 the perfect graperies they are. 

 Two interiors and several ex- 

 teriors of graperies are shown 

 in the new catalog. Send for
