THE JOHN HENRY CO. 



LANSING, MICH. 



Owing to the death of a prominent 

 business man, Howard A. Barrows, 

 president of the MacFarlin Clothing 

 Co., the city florists experienced a busy 

 Saturday. Many large and beautiful 

 designs and sprays were executed in 

 fine shape and many were also sent by 

 out-of-town florists. H. J. H.

Rhinebeck, N. Y.— The violet may 

 lose its reputation for modesty this 

 winter, for there is a scarcity of plants 

 and many of the smaller growers are 

 going out of the business. 



M»itlon The Rerlew wh«n y»n write. 



Plattsburg, N. T. — Arrangements re- 

 cently were made by Harry M. Cooke 

 for the purchase of the property of his 

 late father, on South Peru street, in- 

 cluding the Cooke greenhouses and 

 business. Several months ago Mr. 

 Cooke leased the Valley greenhouses. 

 His business grew to such an extent 

 that he found the Valley property in- 

 adequate, and a proposition was made 

 to his brother and sister for the pur- 

 chase of their share in the Cooke prop- 

 erty. 



WE GUARANTEE 



Metropolitan Boilers 



To Do Ttaetr Work Consuming: Less Fuel 

 Tban Any Otber Boiler. 



Because o^ their proven scientifically per- 

 fect construction, Metropolitan I'atented 

 Boilers will heat a given amount of Water 

 quicker, with tesa fuel and less attention 

 than any other boiler on the market. 



The remarkable heating efficiency and 

 quick steaming qualities of these boilers are 

 due to their large and effective heating sur- 

 face. 



Just a few points of Metropolitan Pat- 

 ented Boiler merit: — 



Smooth, perfect finished castings. 

 Push nipple connections. 



Large fire box, providing ample combus- 

 tion chamber, and permitting a suffi- 

 cient charge of fuel to require attention 

 only at long Intervals. 

 Deep ash pit, making the removal of ashes 



a alight task. 

 Large flues, making the boiler easy to 



clean. 

 Grates that are made for hard usage and 



long service. 

 They are Fnel Saving, not Fuel WaHting. 

 And above all, they cost less and are 



cheaper to operate than any other. 

 We also make soft coal boilers which are 

 smokeless, and save 50 per cent in coal. 



Put Your Heating Problenis Op to Us.
