Hot Water Comfort 



for Less than the Usual Cost 

 of Steam, by Means of 

 The Norwall Vacuum Valves 



Ynil '"' iy ,nink >' ou can't afford an expensive Hoi 

 uu Watei Heating apparatus. 



1 •' doesn't et your requirements, 



and you almost know that hot air won't do thi 

 Let us W " . e to you that steam can 



safest, surest, most healthful and I heat, 



when rlgfhtly handled. 



Let us show you how your home can be kept com- 

 >le with least trouble— least labor— and at » big 

 saving in fuel. 



By means ..I a little Automatic Valve, which can 

 d to any steam radiator, in place of the 



ordinary vent valve, you can keep air out of your steam - 

 heatlrj is so that the temperature of your 



house will be even duting the day and the radiators will 

 not 1 1 iff at night. 



N ou Si e, these little Automatic Valves will open to 

 let air .nit oi a i idiator just like any vent valves, but, 

 when steam ri .< iralves, they close so that it 



cannot eel out Into 



And, when the Steam cools and condenses, instead 

 oi opening to let air in to take Its place, these va 

 staj tightly closed and a vacuum Is created. This not 

 only keeps all atmospheric pressure oil" the wat( 

 low, so it can continue to boil, but actually draw 

 OUtol the water in the form of vapor long aft 

 perature has dropped >X below the usual boiling 



point. 



\y^ — ^Fajnous 

 Vacuum 



is the 

 Aorweill 

 Va/ve. 



This, of course, means that once steam is up, you 

 can keep it up with less tire and less fuel, and that your 

 Heating Apparatus will continue to 'I" its work long 

 after your tires are banked for the night. 



If this sounds improbable, consult any authority on 

 Simple Physics and learn how a vacuum lifts weight off 

 water and enables it to boil and radiate heat at a low 

 temperature. 



Or, li you wish, we will have your steamfitter show 

 you these valves and explain just how they work. 



Norwall Vacuum Valves will make of your steam- 

 heating apparatus a perfect Vacuum Steamheating 

 System — one that will save you time. and labor, and fuel. 



They will increase the comfort of your house, 

 lessen your labor with the fire and insure healthful heat 

 conditions for you to live in. 



Don't expose yourself and family to the dangers of 

 uneven temperature- chills, colds, rheumatism, and all 

 their attendant ills. Let Norwall Vacuum Valves pro- 

 tect your comfort, your health and your pocketbook. 



A post card mailed us today will bring you a lot of 

 information on heat apparatus.
