WILKS SELF-FEEDING HOT WATER BOILER 

 for ECONOMY, DURABILITY, DEPENDABILITY 



Install a WILKS and forget your troubles- 



NO NIGHT FIREMAN REQUIRED with the WILKS 

 SELF-FEEDING BOILERS, as the magazine or coal 

 chamber holds sufficient fuel to keep fire 10 to 12 hours 

 without attention. Best made for a small greenhouse.

to use in the houses and we desire to 

 run the feeder on the purlin supports 

 over the benches. The boiler to be 

 used is a No. 17 Kroeschell, with two 

 8-inch openings for feeds and two 8- 

 inch o])enings for returns. As the 

 sketch indicates, houses No. 1, 2 and 3 

 run east and west, while house No. 4 

 runs north and south across the west 

 end of the others. At the east end of 

 houses 1, 2 and 3 are the boiler room 

 and service shed. The houses are fif- 

 teen feet high to the ridge.

The sketch shows three houses 33x80, 

 with house No. 4, 20x100, built across 

 the end of the other three houses. The 

 letter does not state the amount of 

 glass, if any, in the side walls, or the 

 uses to which the houses are to be 

 put. 



If the entire radiation is to be of 

 4-inch pipe, we would use two flows 

 and six returns in each liouse 33x80, 

 for 50 degrees, with an additional re- 

 turn in tlie outer houses if they have 

 more than two feet of glass in the side 

 walls. For 60 degrees we would use 

 two flows and ten returns. In tlio 

 house 20x100, we would suggest the 

 use of two flows and four returns for 

 50 degrees and two flows and six re- 

 turns for GO degrees. 



If smaller i)ipe can be secured, we 

 would use tliree 2i/^-inch flows and ten 

 2-inch returns for 50 degrees in each 

 house 33x8(1, witli fifteen returns for 

 60 degrees. In tlie house 20x100, use 

 three flows and six returns for 50 

 degrees and nine returns for 60 de- 

 grees.

A great cliange in tlio weatiicr last

 tailers rejxirted tlie demand for funeral 

 work so great that they were unable to 

 procure enough flowers.
