 Furnace Lining 



Will Your Boiler Furnace Linings 

 Last Through The Winter? 



You'll soon have to start your fires and you don't want to make repairs 



in winter. Linings' laid up of separate fire brick with its thousands of 



mortar joints and weak spots, cannot be relied upon. 



Better install a one-piece, monolithic lining of Betson Plastic Fire Brick 



now. The work is easily and economically done by your own workmen. 



No special skill, forms, shapes or tools required Betson Plastic Fire 



Brick is ready for use when you get it. 



If not ready to reline, order a barrel or two for repairing holes, cracks or 



breaks that may appear in your present lining almost any time. 



Our booklet tells how to save repair and coal bills.

The amount of radiation is sufficient to 

 heat the house to 60 degrees, but it is 

 not possible to secure the greatest 

 amount of efficiency from a system 

 where eight 2-inch flow pipes are sup- 

 plied by one 3-ineh main. It would be 

 advisable to run another 2i/4-ineh flow 

 to supply the coil on the north side of 

 the house. 



While good results may be secured 

 with the pipes arranged as shown in the 

 sketch, it would be preferable to run 

 three Si^-inch flow pipes to the farther 

 end of the house and connect them with 

 ten 2-inch returns, for a temperature of 

 50 degrees. One flow and three returns 

 should be placed on each side wall or 

 the returns may be run under the side 

 benches. For a temperature of 60 de- 

 grees, fourteen returns will be neces- 

 sary. 



To heat the 12x60-foot house, use two 

 2%-inch flow pipes and six 2-inch re- 

 turns. The boiler should heat the two 

 houses if hard coal is used, but with 



WHY TAKE CHANCES? 



Why do you take chances of losing hun- 

 dreds, maybe thousands of dollars in crops? 

 That is just what you are doing if 

 you have no Standard Thermostat.

 your plants over night, or reduce 

 their value by hundreds of dollars. 



The Standard Thermostat will ring a 

 bell whenever your greenhouse tem- 

 perature rises or falls to the dancer 

 point. Place the bell at your bedside 

 or anywhere you please. 



This is'a word to the wise— a buy 

 word to the wise grower. Sudden

 sands of plants every year. Protect 

 yours! Install a Standard Thermostat 

 now. It costs only $184)0. Write today,
