Cast-iron Boilers Require Twice the Amount of 

 Coal; Kroeschell Boiler Only One-half 



I bought a No. 3 Boiler in 1901. We had a corrugated cast-iron fire-box boiler and 

 sectional cast-iron boiler before we bought yours in 1901. The cost of heating with this . 

 boiler is one-half less than it was with my cast-iron boilers. Your No. 8 

 Boiler, which we bought recently of you, is not being run to its capacity.

to be heated to 52 degrees; two houses 

 21 by 149 feet, to be heated to 60 

 degrees; one house 23 by 149 feot, in 

 which 60 degrees is desired; one house 

 21 by 125 feet, requiring 60 degrees, 

 and two houses, respectively 21 and 23 

 feot wide by 125 feet long, in which 

 a temperature of 50 to 54 degrees is 

 desired. To maintain the temperatures 

 named, two fifty horse-power boilers 

 will be required. One boiler of this 

 size would answer in mild weather. In 

 the six houses for which 52 degrees is 

 desired, use one 2-inch flow and six 

 1%-inch returns. For the 60-degree 

 houses take one 2i/^-inch flow and ten 

 1%-inch returns, and for 50 to 54 de- 

 grees use one 2V^-inch flow and eight 

 1^4-ioch returns. 



IN SOUTHERN GEOKGIA. 



I wish to inquire about the heating 

 of my new greenhouse, which is just 

 being built. It is 18x85 and five feet 

 four inches to the eaves. It will re- 

 quire a temperature of 60 degrees. 

 How much piping will be needed in it, 

 using a 3-inch flow and 2-inch returns? 

 I also have an old house, 16x128 and 

 four feet to the eaves, which I run at 

 a temperature of 50 degrees, and it is 

 at present heated with one 3-inch flow 

 and six l^^-inch returns, three at each 

 side. Both houses will be heated by 

 one boiler. They run north and south 

 and are three feet apart. J. T. 



In a house 18x85 feet, with two walls 

 exposed, in the state of Georgia, it 

 Vill be possible to secure a tempera- 

 ture of 60 degrees by using one 3-inch 

 flow pipe and eight 2-inch returns. 



Why "Superior"? 



"You certainly have 

 placed the right name 

 to your boiler — no effort 

 at all to keep the temp- 

 erature at desired points 



in zero weather." So says a South Bend, Ind., florist after a 



thorough trial of 



"Superior" Greenhouse Boilers 



Made of best grade of Bteel throughout. No cast iron sections to crack. 

 Warranted to wear well. State your needs today to the
