Boiler for Sale. 



We offer the steam-boiler we have had iu use for 

 sale. It has a 48-iuch shell, is 12 feet long, contain- 

 ing 48 three-inch flues. The boiler has been in use 

 about six years; but new flues were put in last 

 Christmas, so that it is \ii-tiiall\ tilmost as good as 

 new. It has ne\-er been iii.jui-e<l in any manner 

 whatever. The only reason why we wish to dispose 

 of it is, tliat we litixc jmt in a larger one, for the 

 increased demand nlOur work. We know exact l.v 

 what a new one like this can be bought for, for we 

 obtained very close flgures for putting in another 

 like it, instead of one large one. Such a boiler new, 

 including front grates, etc., will cost at the boiler- 

 shops, $475. We otfer this just as it is for $225, and 

 warrant it perfect in every respect.
