!hf SUPERIOR 



IMPROVED INTERNAL-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 eoiii petit ioiJ in prices on any boiler of equal capacity. 

 Investigate. Send for new illustrated catalogue, just out.

RELATIVE SIZE OF PIPES. 



Will three 3in(di returns, each sev- 

 iity feet long, be too much for a 2-inch 

 •low? Will a 3 inch tnain supplv three 

 • inch flows;' S. jl. ]',. 



One 2 inch flow is rateii as sufficient 

 ■() care for 4(10 square feet of radia- 

 ion; the three .''.inch leturns, seventy 

 root long, contain only about 2(i0 square 

 :cet, so there is ample ca|>acity in the 

 -inch (low. If the 2 inch flows are each 

 ess than 480 feet Jong, a ."i-inch main 

 •vill supply them on a steam basis. If 

 lot water is used, everything sliould, if 

 iiossible, be k<pt within lUl) feet in
