Plan the right heating 



If you are newly build- 

 ing, don't discredit your 

 property at the start by 

 putting in old-fashioned 

 forms of heating. 

 Whether planning a 

 new house or intending 

 to move, don't overlook 

 the great importance of 

 a modern heating equip- 

 ment. There isn't any other feature of the home which will 

 save you so 

 much or

These outfits for 

 - Pressure 

 :eam or Hot 

 Water will soon 

 repay their cost 

 in coal savings, lessened labor, absence of repairs, and low insurance. All ash- 

 dust, smoke, soot, and coal-gases are kept out of the living-rooms — reducing 

 house-cleaning one-half and saving the wear on carpets, 

 decorations, and furniture. 



If property is sold you get back their full value, or they attract and 

 hold best tenants at 10% to 15% higher rental. The saving of but 

 one ton of coal in a year will meet the interest upon $100, and this 

 sum will nearly cover the difference in the cost of IDEAL Boilers 

 and AMERICAN Radiators as compared with a hot-air furnace for a 

 good-size cottage. 



IDEAL Boilers and AMERICAN Radiators are annually replacing 

 thousands of hot-air furnaces and stoves that have been found 

 wasteful and wanting in OLD cottages, houses, stores, churches, 

 schools, etc. Ever heard of any one going back to other forms of 

 heating once they have tried our way ? Any argument in that to you ? 



Please let us tell you the full why, how, and present attractive price. 

 No tearing-up necessary — and in these less hurried months you get 

 the services of the most skillful, quickest fitters ! Ask for free valu- 

 able booklet. Inquiries cordially welcomed. 



This small, plain, perfectly 

 smooth Radiator is one of 

 several thousand patterns 

 and sizes of AMERICAN 

 Radiation made to fit any 

 architectural needs. It is so 

 clean and cleanable— suited 

 to narrow halls, bathrooms, 

 nursery, etc.
