Low boiler with socket connections, for shallow cellar. 



How to Keep 

 Your Chimney 

 Cool 



First — Don't skimp your boiler. 

 Buy one large enough so you don't 

 have to leave the draft door open a 

 good part of the time and force the 

 burning gases so rapidly that they 

 reach the chimney before the heat 

 is more than half extracted. 



Second — Buy a Uurnham, because 

 it is the only boiler with cross fire 

 channel having side flue openings, 

 or with a fire travel three times the 

 boiler's length before reaching the 

 smoke outlet. No other cast iron 

 sectional boiler is constructed 

 especially for greenhouse heating.
