THE IDEAL 

 HEAT 



tfjl The Ideal Heat is pure fresh air, 



•^ warmed to just the right temperature, 



in every room and in every part of each 



room — which means KELSEY HEAT. 



{J THE KELSEY WARM AIR GEN- 

 ^ ERATOR gives Ideal Heat because 

 it does not "bake " or " scorch " the air as 

 a furnace does, or -warm the same air 

 over and over like a Steam cr Hot Water 

 System with radiators. 



tfjT If you are building, or thinking of 

 building, or if the System in the house 

 you live in now is at all unsatisfactory — 

 ■write for our Book and learn what THE 

 KELSEY GENERATOR really is, does 

 and costs — and what it prevents and saves. 



Entirely different from 

 Furnaces, Steam and Hot 

 Water Systems. 



Better because it gives 

 healthier Heat — much 

 more even distribution of 

 the Heat — no unsightly 

 radiators and pipes to 

 increase the cost and col- 

 lect dirt — no coal dust or 

 gas — and the minimum 

 cost for Coal — less even 



than Direct Steam and Hot 

 Water Systems, 15 to 30 

 per cent, less than Indirect 

 Steam and Hot Water Sys- 

 tems, and 20 to 40 per 

 cent, less than Furnaces. 



Adapted to Homes, 

 Schools and Churches of 

 all sizes and styles — old 

 or new.
