WHAT THE USERS SAY 



Get the Boiler You Can Recommend 

 to Your Friends 



The No. 4 boiler is heating 7500 square feet of glass— it would take care of 

 10,000 square feet. Have no trouble to keep up temperature of 60^ in coldest 

 weather. I fire every six hours. The boiler works satisfactorily in every way, 

 and I recommend it to all my friends. Your Generator is a great help and 

 a splendid caretaker of the hot water system, the pipes being more than 

 ordinarily hot. It has saved me a lot of coal. m. GRAF, Elmsford, N. Y.

posing, of course, that the same number 

 of pipes are carried through the new 

 part of the house. In case the south 

 end of the house is exposed, and espe- 

 cially if there are benches close to the 

 end of the house, it might be well to 

 carry the coils halfway across the end 

 of the house from either side.
