WHICH SHALL IT BE? 



CAST IRON BOILERS-FOOL ECONOMY (false ratings, fuel waste, dan- 

 ger of breakdowns by cracking of sections, dealers' commissions on sales)— OR 



KROESCHELL BOILERS-FUEL ECONOMY (honest and "true blue" 

 boiler ratings, safety, quick heat, factory-to-user prices). 



Kroeschell Replaces 4 Cast Iron Boilers 



Previous to 1909, Mr. Schultz, of Menominee, Mich., heated his entire plant with 

 ca.st iron boilers. It had been claimed that ea.st iron boilers are superior to the 

 Kroeschell. Mr. Schultz is now heating 18,000 sq. ft. of grlass with the Kroeschell 

 which was installed in 1909, and thev are required to lire same only twice a night. 

 The following letter speaks for itself: 



"We do not have the least trouble to maintain about 60 decrees in the coldest 

 weather. Vour Kroettchell Boiler is the I>e8t I ever had. Before 1 heard about your 

 boiler I had four east iron boilers, and I would not part with the Kroeschell for a 

 hundred cant iron boilers now." (Signed) CHARLES SCHULTZ.

Kroeschell Replaces 2 Cast Iron Boilers 



The Marysville Floral Co., of Marysvllle, O., Installed a No. 4 

 Kroeschell Boiler in 1900. Previous to this time they used cast iron 

 boilers. The following letter speaks for itself: 



"Has the Kroeschell given entire satisfaction? Yes! We bad 

 two cast iron boiierN, but yours proved by far the l>eBt. Your boiler 

 has already outlasted the two cast iron boilers by five years, and ail 

 the expense that we have been put to was a smoke dome."

Kroeschell Replaces Cast Iron Boilers 



The range of C. Peterson & Son, at Escanaba, Mich., was formerly heated by 

 cast iron boilers. Last season this firm installed their first Kroeschell, a No 6 

 which is now heating 13,000 to 14,000 sq. ft. of glass. They state that they fire 

 these boilers three to four times during the night In zero weather. Under date 

 of June 28, 1913, they write as follows: 



"The Kroeschell Boiler has given better satisfaction than any other boiler we 

 have ever had. For years we have flred m':iny dilferent boilers, and really never 

 could get one that we ntight say was entirel.v satisfactory — there was always some- 

 thing wrong — but now since we have tried the Kroeschell, we have solved our boiler 



proposition. We have u ( ) cast Iron sectional boiler here, only used two 



years, and we wish we could get rid of it and put in another Kroeschell iii its place." 



Escanaba, Mich., June 28, 1913. (Signed) C. PETERSON & SON.

on the size of a new chimney, to con- 

 tain a suitable flue for two boilers of 

 the same size as our present one, whih 

 is return tubular with a grate 36.\ i2 

 inches and a smoke hole 10x24 inch; s. 

 The old stack is twenty-four feet hi.;h 

 and has poor draft. What size a. id 

 height will be needed for the n, w 

 smokestack? B. D. 



The height of the stack will depi Jid 

 to some extent upon the surroundiu .s, 

 as it should be higher by five to tt'u 

 feet than the neighboring buildings. 

 Within certain limits, an increase in 

 the height will permit a reduction in 

 the diameter of the stack. For a le- 

 turn tubular boiler the stack should l,e 

 at least thirty feet high, and thiny- 

 five or forty feet would be better. A 

 diameter of eighteen inches would be 

 sufficient if the flue is thirty-five let 

 high. F. l;. 



TRADE CUSTOM UPHELD.

including Wisconsin, among seedsinen 

 such as the defendants, to refuse to 

 warrant seeds." The jury also found 

 that the plaintiff did not know of siioli 

 custom. The jury made no such finding 

 in reference to Morton. There is no evi- 

 dence to show whether he knew of such 

 custom or not. He did testify that he 

 had no notice from any source that the 

 defendant would not sell its seeds with 

 a warranty. This might all be true. 

 and still the general custom sueli as 

 the jury found might not only exist, 

 but Morton might have knowledj;e of 

 it. It is probable that, had he lieeu 

 asked the direct question, he would 

 have denied all knowledge of the ( us 

 torn, and we will assume that o» the 

 evidence referred to the court niifjht 

 have found lack of knowledge, and that 

 it actually did so find. 



It is not the law that ignorance of a 

 general trade custom relieves a party 

 from the effect of it. If there was a 

 general custom among seedsmen siu h as 

 was found, Morton, as a retail dealer 

 in seeds, was bound to know of it. 



"The object of proving a general 

 custom is not to contradict or change 

 a contract made between the parties, 

 but to interpret it to the court and jury 

 as it was understood by the parties at 

 the time it was made; and this evi- 

 dence of a general custom, when it 

 does not contradict or change the e.x 

 press terms of the written contra^ t. is 

 admitted for the purpose of showing 

 what the real contract between the 

 parties was. * » » And, when it i? 

 clearly proven, the parties are supi'osed 

 to have contracted with refcren' e to 

 such custom, unless such eustom 

 changes the express terms ot the 

 written contract." Hewitt v. 'ohn
