  Fresh-air 
  heating 
  

  

  No 
  matter 
  how 
  cold 
  and 
  long 
  the 
  night, 
  you 
  can 
  beat 
  back 
  

   the 
  nipping 
  frost 
  and 
  keep 
  every 
  cubic 
  foot 
  of 
  your 
  house 
  

  

  freshly 
  ventilated 
  and 
  

   radiantly 
  warmed

  IDEAL 
  Boilers 
  steadily 
  and 
  uni- 
  

   formly 
  deliver 
  the 
  Steam 
  or 
  Hot 
  

   Water 
  to 
  AMERICAN 
  Ventilating 
  Radiators 
  day 
  and 
  night, 
  without 
  recoaling 
  for 
  

   periods 
  of 
  eight, 
  ten 
  or 
  twelve 
  hours, 
  as 
  you 
  wish, 
  in 
  most 
  bitter 
  weather. 
  The 
  

   fire 
  need 
  not 
  be 
  rekindled 
  during 
  the 
  entire 
  heating 
  season. 
  Anyone 
  can 
  run 
  the 
  

   outfit 
  — 
  no 
  way 
  to 
  get 
  out 
  of 
  order 
  — 
  absolutely 
  safe. 
  The 
  fuel 
  and 
  labor 
  savings 
  

   quickly 
  repay 
  the 
  difference 
  in 
  cost 
  over 
  old-fashioned 
  heating 
  methods. 
  The 
  

   outfit 
  lasts 
  a 
  lifetime 
  — 
  no 
  repairs. 
  Increases 
  value 
  of 
  building 
  for 
  living, 
  renting 
  

   or 
  selling. 
  The 
  purchaser 
  thus 
  gets 
  his 
  money 
  back. 
  

  

  One 
  small 
  fire 
  in 
  an 
  IDEAL 
  Boiler 
  does 
  better 
  work 
  than 
  a 
  half-dozen 
  grates, 
  

   stoves, 
  Baltimore 
  heaters, 
  or 
  hot-air 
  furnaces, 
  for 
  it 
  warms 
  the 
  house 
  evenly 
  — 
  no 
  

   matter 
  how 
  the 
  nights 
  behave 
  or 
  North 
  winds 
  rage. 
  

  

  ADVANTAGE 
  9 
  : 
  Experience 
  has 
  taught 
  us 
  that 
  

   no 
  heating 
  outfit 
  should 
  be 
  without 
  a 
  check-draft 
  in 
  

   smoke-pipe. 
  The 
  special 
  device 
  we 
  supply 
  with 
  all 
  

   IDEAL 
  Boilers 
  is 
  as 
  sensitive 
  as 
  a 
  pair 
  of 
  fine 
  scales, 
  

   and 
  does 
  much 
  to 
  insure 
  automatic 
  control 
  of 
  the 
  fire 
  

   and 
  bring 
  about 
  the 
  marked 
  fuel 
  economy 
  for 
  which 
  

   IDEAL 
  Boilers 
  are 
  noted.

  THE 
  SINGER 
  BUILDING, 
  NEW 
  YORK 
  

  

  Ernest 
  Flagg, 
  Architect 
  

   THE 
  TALLEST 
  BUILDING 
  IN 
  THE 
  WORLD 
  

  

  These 
  Radiators 
  were 
  chosen 
  only 
  after 
  the 
  

   most 
  rigid 
  examination 
  and 
  exhaustive 
  test 
  of 
  

   all 
  the 
  radiators 
  in 
  the 
  market, 
  the 
  tests 
  

   thoroughly 
  demonstrating 
  that 
  Kinnear 
  

   Pressed 
  Radiators 
  exceeded 
  every 
  possible 
  

   requirement 
  for 
  efficiency 
  and 
  durability. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  Tower 
  alone 
  the 
  use 
  of 
  these 
  Radiators 
  

   effects 
  a 
  saving 
  of 
  100 
  tons 
  in 
  weight. 
  

  

  The 
  economy 
  of 
  enormously 
  valuable 
  space 
  

   was 
  another 
  consideration, 
  no 
  radiation 
  on 
  

   earth 
  requiring 
  so 
  little 
  space 
  as 
  Kinnear 
  

   Pressed 
  Radiators. 
  

  

  What 
  applies 
  to 
  the 
  Singer 
  Building 
  applies 
  

   to 
  any 
  other 
  structure, 
  regardless 
  of 
  size. 
  

   The 
  small 
  office 
  building, 
  store 
  or 
  residence 
  

   that 
  installs 
  these 
  Radiators 
  (weighing 
  less 
  

   than 
  one-third 
  as 
  much 
  as 
  cast-iron) 
  reduces 
  

   cost 
  of 
  construction 
  and 
  gains 
  materially 
  in 
  

   space 
  required. 
  

  

  And 
  remember 
  that 
  when 
  desired, 
  Kinnear 
  

   Pressed 
  Radiators 
  may 
  be 
  placed 
  

  

  On 
  the 
  Wall 
  —

  Floor

  Way 
  

  

  If 
  you 
  are 
  building 
  you 
  owe 
  it 
  to 
  yourself 
  

   to 
  investigate 
  this 
  modern 
  radiation 
  before 
  

   deciding 
  what 
  you 
  will 
  install.
