FLORENCE HEATERS 



When most push nipple boilers need 

 rcpairinj;, yon have to take the whole 

 boiler apart; yon d(j not have to do this 

 with the Florence Heater, as eacli sec- 

 tion forms its own l)ase. This does away 

 with the "separate base," and enables 

 yon in making a repair to take out any 

 one section desired, and simply draw 

 the boiler together again, witii but a 

 slight loss of time and almost no trou- 

 ble. 



Anothei leatnre <d the Florence is 

 that it is so conservatively rated that tlie 

 difference in the ca))acity of the boiler 

 w hen running under this condition would 

 scarcely be noticeable, enabling yon to 

 get along until iej)airs arrive. 



As a matter of fact. Florence Heat- 

 ers, on account of their superior con- 

 struction, are not ordinarily subject to 

 strains in the weakest point, which break 

 so many beater>: eonse(iuently purchas- 

 ers are ndieved of the great expense for 

 repairs so common with most of the 

 ]>resent-(lay heaters.

What Makes Circulation. 



The application ot' the jirinciple of 

 hot water circnlatiuu to gieeriliouse heat- 

 ing is due to its adaptability, in in- 

 stalling sueli a j>]ant it must be reineni- 

 lu'red that it is gravity which jiroduces 

 the circulatifiii of tlie water through the 

 system. It is the difference in the 

 weight between ascending and descend-
