HARDWOOD RECORD 



How to 



Burn 



Sawdust 



"We are burning all of our ereen cottonwood sawdust — and we saw 

 nothing but coltonwood on the niglit run — and we do not hnd it necessary 

 to use any dry wood at all, keeping steam entirely on the sawdust and 

 the small blocks direct from the saw. All of the lire wood we sell. Before 

 we put in the bars we could not burn more thiui half the sawdust, and had 

 to fire up ahnost entirely on dry wood. We arc never delayed by lack 

 of steam, and frequently have "to shut oit the lilast while running on 

 good sized logs." 



The foregoing is a letter from the Otis Manufacturing Co., of New 

 Orleans, La., to the Gordon Hollow Blast tJrate Company, of Greenville, 

 Michigan, stating the results incident to the use of the Gordon Hollow 

 Blast Grate. 



The Gordon Hollow Blast Grate ceased to be an experiment years 

 ago. It is known and used wherever lumber is made. According to the 

 testimony of users, it gives as good results with wet. green or frozen 

 sawdust as a draft grate gives with dry wood, and burns wet or green 

 slabs with equal facility. No change in construction necessary. Can 

 be used in either furnaces or ovens, and in any number, from one up. 

 No dithculty in starting up in the morning, or in keeping up steam when 

 llii' t)lower is idle, and no objection to so doing. Saves labor in firing. 

 Fir-^t cost reasonable, and cost in the long run far less than for draft bars. 

 \Vc give you thirty days in which to test the outfit, paying the freight 

 both ways in the event of rejection. If you have difficulty in making 

 sulfirient steam, or in burning your refuse, DON'T fail to try it. In 

 uriinig for prices, state how many boilers you have, and whether you 

 have plain furnaces or Dutch ovens, and give width and length of grate 

 surface. 



Five hundred testimonials hke the above from leading lumbermen.

Gentlemen: It is now two montlis since we remodeled 

 our kilns and added yovir patent process, and we want to 

 say to yon tliat we are glad we made the change. We can 

 now dry our lumber in about half the time it formerly took, 

 and the saving in time is but a small part of the advantage, 

 as the lumber dried under the new process comes out in 

 much finer condition. It is entirely freed of all sap and 

 none of it is warped or checked. 



We can cheerfully recommend your system to parties 

 needing .in up-to-date system. Yours truly, 



Schiller Piano Company.
