"It is Working 

 to Perfection!" 



—The Phoenix Nursery 



THIS progressive Bloomington. 111., greenhouse man was formerly 

 troubled with the same difficulties you are having now. 



There was a time when his flowers were continually damaged by irregu- 

 larity of temperature in the growing houses— 



When he dreaded to work in the boiler room because of a messy steam pum p ! 

 Then he installed the "Morehead" Back- to- Boiler System -and now, in 

 his own words. ** It is workinK to perlection." 

 If you want to be as enthusiastic as this Bloomington man— if you want to 



Eliminate Sluggish Circulation 

 in Your Steam Lines — 



MMhutd 



and thereby obtain absolute control of the temperature 

 in your greenhouses— 



If you want to feed your boi'ers pure hot condensation 

 direct -and thereby cut the cost of your fuel- 

 Write for the Baok-to-Boiler Book today.

size or pattern, is short-lived when oil 

 is used as fuel, 



Mr. Kersey could put his oil supply 

 tank six or eight feet higher than his 

 burner, arrange to keep it warm or hot 

 as the oil he used demanded, discard 

 his pump, get a burner of the Billows 

 type — if there is one on the market 

 small enough — attach his blower to the 

 steam pipe of the burner and, possibly, 

 burn fuel oil. At that, his burner would 

 be independent of his boiler and would 

 need the same attention as now. On 

 the other hand, he could install a steam 

 system, connect up his burner, put an 

 electric alarm in his bedroom, connect- 

 ing it to the steam gauge, to guard 

 against low steam through an accident 

 to the glass or foreign matter in the 

 oil, go to bed and forget he had a fire, 

 as I do. A burner operated with steam 

 from its own boiler is positively self- 

 regulating. Further, he could burn any 

 kind of oil he wished. 



I have had some experience with a 

 number of burners under widely differ- 

 ent conditions and with many grades of 

 oil, and to the man using a hot water 

 system, under average conditions, I do 

 not hesitate to say, let it alone. To 

 those using steam or able to change 

 from hot water to steam, I would say, 

 by all means burn oil if you can get it, 

 but do not buy any gold bricks in the 

 shape of burners; make your own.
