is well to consider the fact that in these gen- 
erators there are no tubes to rust out, no fire- 
pot to warp or crack, no fire-pot linings to 
renew, no points to require the attention of a 
plumber, nor does the valve “ leakage factor ”’ 
exist. It is not the intention here to depreciate 
or undervalue other methods of heating. Our 
aim is to present the ascertained good points of 
a generator that has been adopted, with sub- 
stantial approval, throughout this country and 
Canada for the past eighteen years, over 
27,000 being now in use. ‘The trade in this 
output has very sensibly increased and the 700 
dealers now selling this generator makes it 
convenient for almost any one interested to 
inspect the heater. The catalogue is very 
complete in illustrations and technical infor- 
mation. Send for it, by addressing the company,
