TRAVIS GREENHOUSE ROCKER GRATES 



The vrate that handles Pocahontas coal with perfect success. Cleans 

 ehtirelT by shaking and not a particle of coal goes through into the ash 

 pit. Those of you who are wasting expensive coal, take notice. We can 

 give you the names of customers who are now using Pocahontas coal and 

 they win give you their personal experience and convince you that our 

 grates are a valuable improvement. 



Strictly self-contained. Fits any style of furnace. Handles any kind 

 or grade of coal. We have installed many where other rocker grates have 

 failed. Many customers, after thoroughly trying them, are reordering for 

 other boilers. 



Greenhouse operators who are installing our grates this year are more 

 than pleased. Our customers are all boosters. We manufacture Rocker Grates only and build them along scientlflclines. It Is entirely wrong to think 

 anything that will shake will answer for a Rocker grate. We are furnishing you Rocker Grates because others have failed to give service. 



Stationary grates are good for about 1 hour. Then the openings begin to close up and they require more coal and the demand increases until they 

 are thoroughly cleaned again. Did it ever occur to you that a satisfactory Rocker Grate could be made? Yesf We will guarantee that, with reasonable 

 care, these grates will give you the service you require, just as they are doing for your friends, who are operating greenhouses over the entire country. 



We will guarantee perfect satisfaction to those entrusting their buslnets to us. For prices, give size of furnace.

^eating Syntem Never Worked So 

 i;Vell Before. 



We have just gone through a rough cold 

 spell for California, and the two Kroeschell 

 Generators, No. 5 and No. 14, have done fine 

 work. We are very much pleased with the re- 

 sults of both of them and would not be without 

 vour Generator on any_ account. In half an 

 hour we can get the pipes very hot to the far 

 end of our last house, which is over 280 feet 

 from the boiler. We have never had our heat- 

 ing system work so well before and believe it 

 is due to the Generators.

"That operating officials be instruct- 

 ed to make fuller use of locomotives 

 and cars by increasing the speed of 

 freight trains. An average movement 

 of less than twenty-five miles per car 

 per day is not adequate to the need of 

 times such as this. An increase of 

 speed is tantamount to an increase in 

 equipment." 



The commission's recommendations, 

 sent broadcast as a circular to the rail- 

 roads and shippers of the United States, 

 point out that the commerce and in- 

 dustries of the United States would 

 suffer great loss were a car shortage to 



and less water 

 space than is 



LESS COAL=MORE HEAT. 



WHY? ^^ More Heating Surface 



contained in any other boiler. (Note the many flues set close 

 together.) This is one reason why the users of the 



''Superior Standard" Greenhouse Bofleis 



find them perfectly satisfactory. We frequently receive re-orders 

 fro*lii florists who have tested these boilers thoroughly and found 



them even "Superior" 

 to our claims. 



Why not ask for fnii particulars 

 today? 



A postal to US will bring a prompt
