 HIGH HUMIDITY 

 DRY KILNS SAVE 



BECAUSE: 



1. Practically all of the air is continually re- 

 circulated — we do not attempt to heat all 

 outdoors to create a circulation. 



2. Steam consumption lower than any other 

 kiln, because there are no cold curtains in 

 the kiln to condense and chill the air. 



3. 25% greater loading capacity per truck 

 than any other competitive kiln. 



4. Building construction cost greatly reduced 

 due to the previous point, and absence of 

 flues, etc., in building walls. 



5. VERY LOW INSTALLATION COST 

 as apparatus comes in compact units ready 

 to be set up.

By tising the e.xhaust steam from the en- 

 gine-driven fan it makes your power cost 

 nil and gives you 100% efficiency of your 

 steam. First you use the pressure and 

 then the heat of your steam. 



Positive automatic control valves fur- 

 nished, permit rigid steam economy. 



Seven changes of air per minute across 

 both faces of every board is your guar- 

 antee of quick drying. 



Quicker drying at low temperature means 

 less degrade and more money in your 

 pocket. 



It is sold by a reputable manufacturer on 

 a manufacturing basis and you are not 

 paying for ideas and patents. You get 

 your money's worth of Drying Equipment.
