AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 



111 



Common hospitality demands a warm home. 



The greatest home charm 



Make your home-coming 

 as late as you please from 

 party, ball, or theatre and 

 you will find your boudoir 

 or bed-chamber delightfully 

 warm and "comfy'' to talk 

 things over with your guest 

 if the home is Steam or 

 Hot-Water heated and 

 ventilated by 



American^ Ideal 



ii Radiators ^Iboilers 



Heart confidences — "the pearls of friendship" — are born only where 

 there is warmth and coziness. IDEAL Boilers and AMERICAN 

 Radiators help so greatly to give a home its greatest charm — perfect 

 freedom day and night to enjoy every nook and comer of it, no matter 

 how blizzardy the weather. IDEAL Boilers circulate their soft 

 warmth for hours after the fire in the boiler has been banked for the 

 night, and the house is kept cozy for the rising time and breakfast hour 

 on the single charge of coal put in the evening before. 



ADVANTAGE 10: Burning coal liberates certain gases which burn readily and 

 make intense heat if permitted to "take fire." The chambers (and the flues opening 

 out of these spaces ) are so arranged in IDEAL Boilers that 

 they bring in the exact amount of air required 

 for completely burning these gases as fast as 

 freed from the coal. There can be no "undi- 

 gested" coal — every ounce of fuel is made to 

 yield its utmost heat — none of its heat-making 

 power is wasted up the chimney. 



Don't delay investigating this well-paying permanent 

 investment with its marked fuel, labor, and repair savings, 

 besides the greater comfort, health protection, cleanli- 

 ness, safety, and durability. Prices are now most favorable.
