BUILT FOR BEGINNERS

 greenhouse, who does his own firing and needs a boiler that 

 can be relied on at all times. 



WILKS BOILERS are self- feeding. Fill the magazine with 

 fuel in the evening/and an even, continuous flre will be main- 

 tained until morning without any attention. 



WILKS SELF-FEEDING HOT WATER BOILERS 



are built entirely of steel,

"Steam engineering has been defined 

 3s tl^e. .'service which produces the 

 greawst income from a pound of 

 fuel,' " is the sentence that opens the 

 "Foreword*' to a new catalogue issued 

 by the Morehead, Mfg. Co. 



Every process by which more power 

 can be derived from the fuel used un- 

 der the boiler is of great interest. The 

 question of improving the steam plant 

 IS one of the most vital of the day. It

 and that, after all, must settle forever 

 details of equipment and operation.

 No manufacturing process or steam 

 plant is really established on its feet 

 until the leaks are looked after and 

 the little, despised losses turned back 

 into money. 



One of the most formidable leaks in 

 the power plant is that of condensation 

 losses. It is a lamentable fact that 

 there are many steam plant owners and 

 operators who are perfectly indifferent 

 to their losses, but they are not num- 

 bered among the progressive. When
