Why 



Earth 



a man tears out pipes 

 and pipe joints when he 

 could as well use our 

 pipe repairs — we don't 

 pretend to know. 



It's such a waste of 

 perfectly good money.

furnished and from the description 

 given of the rooms, a boiler should 

 have a rating of about 900 square feet 

 in order to heat them easily. 



For heating the greenhouse, which is 

 9x50 feet, with two feet of glass in 

 the south wall and four feet in the 

 north side, about 300 square feet of 

 radiation should be provided by run- 

 ning a 3-inch flow pipe along the north 

 wall and across the east end of the 

 house, taking off eight 2-inch return 

 pipes. Three or four of these should 

 be on the south wall and the others 

 near the middle of the house. 



For heating room No. 1, about 180 

 square feet of radiation should be pro- 

 vided; in room No. 2 the amount needed 

 is about 12.5 square feet, while room 

 No. 3 should have 8.5 feet. Taking these 

 figures, it would appear that about 700 

 square feet of radiation would answer, 

 but for economy of labor and fuel it 

 will be well to have a boiler with a 

 rating of 900 square feet, as already 

 suggested.

 Gentlemen: 



Of the Heater I purchased of you, 



I win write a line or two 



Just to say I've got it going 



.\nd that I am more than crowing; .t ■ 



For It Is the finest made. 



Puts all others in the shade, 



For no night flrlng does it require, , 



Therefore saves me lots of hire. 



Putting dollars in my pocket 



.\nd it's always on the docket. • . •. 



Fired her first on New Year's Eve, ' . 



Said to my wife, "I'd Just as leave - • 



(io to bed and stay all night. 



For I know she'll be all right.'.' ' .,

 Filled her up at half past seven, ; 



Then turned In and such a "Heaven"; 

 For I'd been up night and day. 

 Off that dandy new mown hay, 

 Keeping flre Jn my old steam boiler 

 Till I was very thin and holler. 

 Mine is a 30—48 

 .\nd you Just bet I'd hate 

 To part with It for a million. 

 For it's the one "Heater" of a bUHon;, 

 And to think tliat I can slec)). 

 While the cold blasts around do creep. 

 Makes me happy as can be a 



And I sing praises unto thee; 

 That you have come to our relief 

 .\nd friends, 'tis my belief 

 That this one will sell you more; 

 I had them by tiie score, 

 Looking over my Heating Plant, 

 ' Until I've got the "Turkey Dante." 



Any time you want a boost. 



.\ddress a note to my caboose. 



I'll surely give you the best there is 



For Wilks Heaters do the biz. 



Now I'll close my blamed old trnp 



Before you up and give me a rap; 



Pon't care a cuss If you do. 



'Tis my Wilks Heater and I've paid you. 



And tiie comfort I've received already 



Has made me very steady 



.\nd I'd not say a thing 



Hut would continue to sing 



The praises of your workmanship. 



For I know there's not a slip; 



So I tliink I'd better stop 



.\nd .Sign myself

^^^^^^^g^^^^^^^^gg^^ This letter was first written to you on 



.lanuary 10, 1913; for some reason I did 

 not mail it, so tonight I rewrite same. We have since had weather 6 below zero 

 and I have no reason to change any word whatever in the above. Am more than 

 pleased with my purchase and furthermore will state that last year I burned 

 nearly thirty tons of coal heating a less amount of glass than I now am, and 

 this season I will not burn over five tons, if I do that. 



The thirty tons cost me $1 12.00; the five tons will not cost me over $25.00 

 or $30.00 at the most. I paid $90.00 for my Heater, $8.00 for Expansion Tank, 

 $2.57 freight -total, $100.57; cost of installing, about $5.00; new piping, etc.. 

 about $100.00, making a total expense of about $206.00. 



The difference between $112.00 and $30.00 is $82.' 0. I sold my steam boiler 

 for scrap iron at price of $18.00, In three seasons' time I will pay for my new 

 heating system and make up the interest the money would have brought me. 



Respectfully, [Signed] W. B. S(()Tt.
