HARDWOOD RECORD 



"Hello, 1908. 



Glad to see you." 



"Good morning, Mr. Business Man. You see 1 am here on time." 



"So you are and you look pretty good to me too." 



"Well, I feel all right and rather guess I am a tolerably healthy specimen. But how are you?" 



"Things are off — and it looks to me as though we are going to have a terrible time of it until after election 

 anyway. You see we all need money and — ' 



"Now stop right there. You don't need money nearly as much as you do confidence. What you need 

 more than anything else is a little more sand in your craw. You fellows have plenty of money and while my 

 old friend 1 907 over there gave you a little the worst of it along toward the end, you have gotten the best of 

 him — because you know he's knocked out for good. " 



"But there are going to be enough big, broad-minded men in the country to take the lead in their own 

 localities and through their confidence in themselves, and your humble servant, will pull the scare cats out of 

 Jericho once more on to the shady side of Easy Street." 



"Now. old man, ARE YOU WITH US?"

Even the Untutored Savage, 



in all ages and all climes, has had sufficient intelligence to understand 

 that when he blew on the newly kindled or reluctant fire 



It Burned Better. 



For centuries the blacksmith has depended upon the same principle 

 to generate sufficient heat to melt his iron; and the blacksmith and his 

 bellows are so inseparably associated that to mention one is to suggest 

 the other. 



And investigation will show that, wherever combustion is to be 

 stimulated or intense heat generated, a blast ol some kind is used. 



The Gordon Hollow Blast Grate, 



the nature of which is indicated by its name. 



Gives as good results witli wet, green or frozen sawdust or wet or green 

 slabs as a draft grafe gives with dry wood. 



Increases the efficiency of a boiler from 25 to 50 per cent. 



It is further 



The cheapest grate of ANY kind on the market.
