How is it 

 heated? 



Haven't you noticed that this is now 

 the first question asked in buying or rent- 

 ing? It is because now recognized as the 

 most important feature of a building. A cot- 

 tage, house, mansion, flat, office, or store that 

 is heated by Hot Water or Low-Pressure 

 Steam will rent for more and sell for more. 



American* Ideal 



fl Radiators *-Mboilers 



keep every nook 



and corner of the 



building free from dampness or 



drafts, and clean, comfortable, and 



healthful for dwellers or workers. 



Then there are the great economies to be considered. You save heavily at the 

 coal-bin, burning, if you wish, cheapest coal screenings, 

 poorest soft coal, coke, gas, wood — anything. These outfits 

 do not throw ash-dust, soot, smoke, or coal-gases into the 

 living-rooms, thus reducing house-cleaning one-half, and 

 saving much wear on carpets and furnishings. 



IDEAL Boilers and AMERICAN Radiators will outlast 

 the building — require no repairs. When property is sold 

 owner gets full money back, or 10% to 15% increased 

 rentals. Quicker and larger loans are granted on property 

 thus modernized. 



Prices in Spring are usually the lowest of the year. In these less 

 hurried months, too, you get the best workmanship — the quickest, most 

 skillful fitters ! Put your property in right heating condition now — ready 

 for best living, renting, or selling. Don't delay investigating this big-pay- 

 ing building investment with its marked savings in fuel, labor, and repairs ; 

 besides the comfort, health protection, cleanliness, safety, low insurance, 

 and durability. Quickly put into OLD buildings, farm or city — without 

 tearing up floors and walls or disturbing occupants. Ask for book (free). 



ADVANTAGE 12: All fire 

 surfaces of IDEAL Boilers 

 are at such pitch or angle 

 that they are practically 

 self- cleaning. Note that a 

 deposit of Ja inch of soot, 

 which is a non-conductor of 

 heat, requires 50^ more fuel 

 than when the heating sur- 

 faces are clean. Ask for
