READ WHAT THEY SAY OF THE WILKS BOILERS 



Gentlemen: Fergus Falls, Minn., May 12, '06. 



I cannot say anything but good about the two Wilka boilerB I bought 

 from you in 1904. They have given me the best of satisfaction; would 

 have no others. Yours truly, 



S. N. Mehlin. 



Gentlemen: Dallas, Texas, Dec. 1, 1904. 



I find that one of the best boilers I have is one of your Wilks No. 24. 

 What can you sell me one more for ? I use it for soft coal and it is 

 simply fine. Yours truly,

each eave, with eight 1^4 -inch pipes for 

 returns. Could I arrange for hot water 

 by adding more pipes, or would the sys- 

 tem have to be changed altogether? If 

 so, how would I do it? A. H. M. 



Your system would work with the 

 same arrangement of pipes as you have 

 DOW, but you would need a circulator to 

 push the water through the 1^-inch pipe, 

 as the resistance is great and the water 

 would be cold at the return end. You 

 would also require about half as many 

 pipes more than you have now.

The Market 



We have been favored with many 

 showers during the last week, and now 

 we are undoubtedly coming into a period 

 of ideal summer weather, neither too 

 warm nor too cool. Business continues 

 to be fair. Last week started out a 

 little quiet, but finished up with a first- 

 class demand. American Beauties headed 

 tbe list, as they were the best flowers to 

 111' had. Asters were in good demand 

 most of the time, and sold out well. Short 

 I'ises are much in evidence, and sell at a 

 low figure. There are not many carna- 

 tions now. Gladioli are coming strong, 

 bat the prospects are there will be a let-up 

 i I them soon, and perhaps we will then be 

 al.'le to get somewhere near what they 

 "■e worth. Lilies are good property, and 

 ' f're is not an oversupply of them. 



The S. A. F. G>nvention. 



Two weeks more, and the time for the 

 KUhering of the hosts will have arrived. 

 'J '0 S. A. F. convention is approaching 

 rijndly. The local committees will not 

 l-'ve many more meetings before the 

 f'iits of their labor will be harvested. 

 I very thing appears to be in the best pos- 

 si'ile shape. Quite a few of the local 

 b''ys are away now, but they will all be 

 l^nck in time to put the final touches on 

 t!;cir work and to see that everything 

 'ii'^'ves off smoothly.
