that be practical? I should also like 

 to know about how many square feet 

 of radiation this boiler will supply, in 

 this Ohio climate. H. B. 



The boiler described will heat about 

 600 square feet of hot water radiation. 

 The description given is rather indefi- 

 nite, but it would not appear a diflficult 

 matter to enclose it in brickwork if 

 necessary. There should be about three 

 inches between the boiler and the bricks 

 and arrangements should be made for 

 cleaning the boiler tubes. 



COAL AT CHICAOO, 



"Almost every kind of soft coal is 

 going up in price," says the Black Dia- 

 mond. "On the first of August south- 

 ern Illinois prices will advance all the 

 way from 10 to 25 cents a ton. At the 

 same time Hocking coal will advance 

 about 15 cents a ton. Smokeless coal 

 is already selling at a premium of 15 

 cents a ton over circular, and is going 

 higher. Eastern Kentucky coal has 

 gone up from 10 to 15 cents, with the 

 market stiffening all along the line. The 

 retail dealers are caught between a ris- 

 ing market and a labor shortage, and 

 their situation certainly is uncomfort- 

 able. ' '

TO THE MAN WHO NEEDS A BOILER 



The customers' Interest first— is the basis of the Kroeschell standard, and this principle 

 makes the Kroeschell policy the most liberal of all in the greenhouse boiler butlness. 



The great'Varlety of boilers that we make places us in a commanding position. We make every type o 



boiler that is used, from the smallest h mse heater to the largest water tube steam boiler (600 hora. 



power). For the above reason we can furnish the most efficient boiler unit In every case. 



It le the Kroeschell principle to supplv only that type of boiler which Is best suited to the conditionH. 



and under no circumstances do we take any other stand. 



The-Kroeschell 



is making the most 

 wonderful greenlioufe 

 heatinsr record in the 

 world. Florists who 

 have used other makes 

 are constantly giving 

 the Kroeschell the 

 highest praise. 



10,788.000 sq.ft. of 

 glass was equipped 

 with the Kroeschell 

 Boiler during the past 

 five years. 



The Kroeschell 



has replaced hundreds 

 of cast iron boilers. In 

 every case higher tem- 

 peratures are secured 

 with the Kroeschell 

 with the same piping 

 and with less fuel. 



The Kroeschell is sold 

 direct from factor to 

 users. This eliminates 

 the unnecessary mid- 

 dleman's profit. 



Kvery boiler made at our works is of the highest standard. Material— governed by Kroes- 

 chell gpeclflcatlons— the best that money and brains can produce. Workmanship- the kind 

 that Is an inspiration to all other holler makers. Boiler efflciency— determined by actual 

 tests under workins conditions. Boiler ratings— honest and true blue— guaranteed actual 

 working capacities. 

 Probably you havo wondored why tho Krooscholl Qroonheuoo Bollor Is not sold by 

 any of tho sroonhouoo construction companios. In Justico to all concomod wo 

 fool It Is our duty to stato that tho Krooscholl Bollor Is novor sold by any ono 

 but-Tho KROESCHELL BROS. CO.— Wo havo no aaronts, and as our pricos aro 

 basod on solos diroct from factory to usor, wo do not quoto anyono doallns In 

 boilors SDOclal rosalo pricos. Our stand In this mattor has brousht out a lot of 

 compotltlon; novortholoss, tho sroat offlcloncy of tho Krooscholl Groonhouso 

 Bollor cannot bo disputod, and In spits of tho koon comootltlon tho Krooscholl 

 Groonhouso Bollor Is hoatlnc moro class than any othor mako— "DO NOT GET 

 CHEATED OUT OF THE KROESCHELL BUT PLACE YOUR ORDER DIRECT AT ONCE."^ 



KroesclieU B«Uer— Half the Coil and 

 HalftkeWirk 



Your No. 13 Boiler Is carrying 25,000 sq. 

 ft. of glass, and I can keep it at 60 degrees 

 Id the coldest weather without any trouble. 

 I have three cast Iron Iwilers also, heating 

 a range of 26.000 sq. ft. of glass, but the No. 

 13 Kroeschell Boiler only takes half the coal 

 and half the work to get the same results. 



The Kroeschell Is doing the same work as 

 good and as saving as ever. Me for 

 Krooachell Boilers.

KroescheU Best of All 



Our No. 6 Kroeschell Boiler is heating 

 15,000 sq. ft. of glass, and it would take care 

 of more. We carry a temperature from 70 

 to 85 degrees, and have had no trouble In 

 regard to this. The Kroeschell has given 

 entire satisfaction. 



Have had to contend with nearly every 

 other make of boiler on the market, and in 

 my estimation the Kroeschell surpasses, 

 without exception, any type or make.

Get the Kroeschell First 



Severa' yeats ago Mr. Ponting corresponded with us in regard to the Kroes- 

 chell Hot Water Boiler, but was persuaded to Install two sectional cast iron 

 boilers which were claimed to be superior to the Kroeschell. 



In the meantime we placed a number of Kroeschell Boilers In the Immediate 

 vicinity of Mr. Ponting, and he could not help but notlc« their great efficiency, 

 and last year, while at the convention, he placed bis order for his flist Kroes- 

 chell. The following letter speaks for itself: 



"We like the Kroeschell Boiler very much. It elves entire 

 satisfaction, nnd it is so easy tn fire. I will trade yon the two cast 

 Iron sectional boilers for another like the Kroeschell I have." 



July 16, 1913, Cleveland, Ohio. (Signed) FRED PONTIN(r. 



Kroeschell Replaces Cast Iron 



In 1912 our cast iron sectional boiler 

 cracked in one section and we ordered a 

 No. 3H2 Kroeschell Boiler by telegraph. This 

 boiler Is heating 10,200 sq. ft. of glass, 

 besides the office and potting shed, and yon 

 win note this is 1200 ft. more than its rating. 

 We have no trouble to maintain proper 

 temperatures at any time and the boiler has 

 given perfect satisfaction. 



With the Kroeschell we have added one 

 more house, but have not used any more 

 coal than with the cast iron boiler and 30OO 

 ft. less to heat. One cast iron break-down 

 was enough for us, for we have found It 

 pays to get the best— the Kroeschell. 



(Signed) MICHLER BROS. CO. 

 July 17, 1918, Laxlngton, Ky. 



Kroeschell Replaces 3 Cast Iron Boilers 



The No. 6 Kroeschell which we purchased 

 some years ago Is heating 18.(X)0 sq. ft. of 

 glass, and we should judge that It would take 

 care of 6000 or euOO ft. more easily. 



Our houses require a temperature of 60 to 

 52 degrees at night, and we certainly do not 

 have the least trouble to keep temperatures 

 In the coldest weather. We do not have tf) 

 Are our boiler as often as our brother flo- 

 rists who are using different makes. The 

 Kroeschell has replaced three cast iron sec- 

 tional boilers, and It certainly has given 

 entire satisfaction. 



It only takes a few words to express the 

 good quality of your boilers and they are as 

 follows: "Of all Arms handling boilers and 

 advertising them truthfully, the party buy- 

 ing a boiler would have to get the Kroeschel I , 

 as you are certainly advertising nothing but 

 facta."
