FLORENCE 

 HEATERS 



Consider well when buying a 

 heater all of its points. Do not 

 buy a heater because of some little 

 patented device, the merit of which 

 is dinned into your ear, while noth- 

 ing is said of the general construc- 

 tion or make-up of the fixture. 

 Look it all over carefully, and you 

 will find yourself inclined to pur- 

 chase a FLORENCE. Write for 

 our caialogue, and it will be 

 promply sent to you.
