ILeSlJPERIOR 



IMPROVED INTERN\L-riRED STEEL BOILER 



Made in 10 sizes, to heat from 2000 to 6500 feet of 4-inch pipe. 

 No brick-woik necessary; shipped on skids, all ready to move into 

 place and begin firing. Can be cleaned without letting the fire out. 

 All hubs made so they can be used for either cast-iron or steam pipe. 

 Tested at 25 lbs. pressure and warranted; can be used for low pressure 

 steam by adding steam drum. Best material; best workmanship. 

 Specially designed for greenhouse use; corrects the faults of other boilers. 

 Lightest boiler on the market capable of performing equal work. We 

 dety eompetitiOD in prices on any boiler of equal capacity. 

 Investigate. Send for new illustrated catalogue, just out.
