The demand for KroesAell Boilers has lieeri very heiivy, and during the pint four^ears, the Kroeschcll Hot Water G/cenhouse Boiler has

 tliey also sold many, to be used in greenhouses.- , . ' . , 



Their records show .sales very much in excess of last year at this time, and nt llu- iJitstnt rate their business will show an increase of fully

The No. 9 Boiler we bought of you Is heating IS.OOO square feet of glass. We have no trouble to keep up temperatures of 60 degrees for rose houses 

 and 62 degrees for carnation section In the coldest weather. Your boiler has given entire satisfaction. We also have a oast Iron 9 sectional boiler, but 

 prefer the Kroeschell. This has been the coldest winter we have had in years and we burned less coal than usual. We use your Generator and believe It 

 litlps the circulation. Junction City Floral Co., Junction City. Kan. 



The No. 7 Boiler I bought from you is heating 14.000 square feet of glass: I thlnli it can take <'are of 16.000 feet. I do not have any trouble to keep up 

 leiiiperatureof 60 degrees In the coldest weather. I fire only once after 12 o'clock midnight. The boiler has given perfect satisfaction. I have four 

 fast Iron boilers— like the "Kroeschell" the best of all. If any one wishes to Inquire about your boiler, let them write me. for I think your boilers are 

 good ones. Chas. Schultz, Menominee, Midi.
