Mr. Allen says : 

 "I used Dixon's Silica-Graphite Paint 



on hot water pipes 16 years ago. The pipes 

 are still free from rust. It Is by far the most 

 serviceable paint for the purpose."— C. H.

Greenhouse Heating. 



HOW MANY 4-INOH EUNS? 



Will you please tell me how many 4- 

 inch beating pipes would be required 

 in a greenhouse 36x75 feet to keep the 

 temperature between 50 and 60 degrees 

 in zero weather? The house runs east 

 and west, and is sixteen feet high. 

 The walls are seven feet high, and are 

 three feet wood and four feet glass. 

 The house is exposed to the wind, and 

 is heated by hot water. A. S. — 111. 



To heat the house described, about 

 900 square feet of radiating surface 

 will be needed. This will require 

 twelve runs of 4-inch pipe. Of these, 

 at least three or four should be flow 

 pipes. If 50 degrees will answer in 

 the coldest weather, the number of 

 runs might be reduced to ten. 



I should prefer to use smaller pipes, 

 and suggest four 2^-inch flow pipes, 

 and fifteen 2-inch returns. 



FOB ADDITIONAI. RADIATION. 



Please let me know whether I can 

 use the following arrangement for ad- 

 ditional hot water piping for four 

 houses, each fifty feet long. The houses 

 are on a hillside and the boiler is at 

 the bottom of the hill. The boiler is 

 rated to heat 1,000 running feet of 2- 

 inch piping and I intend to use that 

 much. 



The boiler is at the east end of the 

 lowest house. I intend to run a 2-inch 

 pipe from the boiler to the highest 

 house on the hill, then run the pipe un- 

 der the bench fifty feet west, return 

 fifty feet east, drop the pipe three feet 

 in the next house, run it fifty feet west, 

 come back fifty feet east, run it fifty 

 feet west in the same house, drop it 

 two feet in the next house and run it 

 to the boiler. The second feed pipe 

 would go from the boiler to house No. 

 3, run fifty feet west, fifty feet east, 

 fifty feet west again, drop to the last 

 house, run fifty feet east, then again 

 fifty feet west, and back to the boiler 

 fifty feet east. 



Will such an arrangement work! All 

 the pipes are so situated that the water 

 will have a natural fall to the boiler 

 shed. The expansion tank will be at 

 the end of the first house on the hill 

 and will hold twenty gallons. I must 

 have the new pipes under the benches, 

 as the present ones are all above.

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 



KROE8CHELL BOILERS-FUEL ECONOMY (honest and "true blue" 

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



READ WHAT THE USERS SAY ABOUT 



KROESCHELL BOILERS 



Cast Iron Boiler Cracked 

 in Two Years 



"We have a No. 4 Kroeschell Boiler. It takes 

 care of 7O00 sq. ft. of glass; It would take care of 

 twice that amount. 



I first liad a new cast iron boiler 'whicli 

 lasted two years, when it cracked tu 

 pieces. The second was a second-hand boiler. 



I consider your boiler the best paying; Invest- 

 ment I ever made. 



You can refer anyone to us." 



Marysvllle Floral Co., Marysvllle, Ohio. 



Cast Iron Cannot be Compared 

 with Kroeschell 



"We bought 8 No. 2 Boiler in 1904. It takes 

 care of SUOO sq. ft. of Rlass, and we could add 

 2000 more. We are very well satisfied. We 

 used a cast iron boiler before we had 

 yonrs. It cannot be compared with the 

 Kroeschell Boiler. Your boiler has cer- 

 tainly a ereat capacity for heating water." 



Hall & Robinson, Montreal, Canada. 



Kroeschell Better Than 

 Cast Iron 



"I bought a No. 8 Boiler in 1903. It has now 

 10,000 sq. ft. of glass, and we could add 3300 

 more. This is ahead of five or six cast 

 iron boilers which I have used. I saved 

 $50 per season on the coal bill." 



M. C. Ward, Quincy, Mass. 



"I bought a No. 4 Boiler In 1902. Has 7000 

 sq. ft. of glass; could add 2000 more. It Is per- 

 fectly satisfactory. Would keep only Kroeschell 

 Boiler. Wonld not have a cast iron boiler 

 for a sift." Qeo. Engol, Xenia, Ohio. 



Mr. Engel has increased his plant and ordered 

 another No. 4 Kroeschell. 



Better Than Cast Iron 



"Wo bought a No. 1 Boiler In 1902. It is very 

 satisfactory. We had several cast iron 

 boilers, but like yours much better." 



K. Ferrand & Sons, Detroit, Mieli. 



Cost of Heating One-half Less 



Than With Cast Iron Boilers 



"I bought a No. 3 Boiler in IflOl. We had a 

 corrugated cast iron flre box boiler and a sec- 

 tional cast iron boiler before we bought yours 

 in 1901. The cost of the heating with your 

 boiler is one-half less than it ivas with 

 iny cast iron boilers. Your No. 8 Boiler, 

 which we bought recently of you, is not being 

 run to Its capacity." 



Wm. Geenen, Kimberly, Wis. 



Has enlarged place and Installed another No. & 

 Kroeschell. 



Kroeschell vs. Cast Iron 



"I have one of your new 1910 model Kroeschell 

 Boilers, and same has proven very satisfactory. 

 We have no trouble to keep temperatures In 

 the coldest weather. We flre once or twice 

 (luring the day, and once at night, and have 

 had the beet satisfaction I have ever experi- 

 enced In a boiler. Formerly I had two cast 

 iron boilers; one cracked and I toolc 

 both of these boilers out. My coal hill 

 with the cast iron boilers ran from $19.'j to 

 $207 per season during the past seven years. 

 This year, with your boiler and soft coal, my 

 coal bill was only 1103, and I still have some 

 coal left. Your boiler Is the best and cheapest 

 on the market, not alone for the price, but also 

 In fuel saving. I am very glad that you are 

 so well known in ^ffalo, N. Y. I have never 

 heard anything but pral.se. In which I }oin 

 heartily. Wishing you every success, I remain. 

 Max Buehler, Forks, N. Y."
