Dry Your Clothes with Waste Heat 



The Ckicago Comtined Dryer and Laundry Stove is guaranteed to dry 

 clotlied in a fraction of tKe time required by ordinary metKods. ^ Hxe 

 system of ventilation makes tKe clotKes as pure as tKougk dried in tKe 

 open air, and it will KleacK tKe clotKes as perfectly as sunsKme. 



The Chicago 

 Dryer 



consists of a metal cabinet, absolutely 

 fireproof, to which is attached a laun- 

 dry stove. The cabinet is equipped 

 with sliding racks on which the clothes 

 are hung. The stove not only serves 

 the purpose of furnishing heat for the 

 dryer, but may also be used for boil- 

 ing the clothes, heating flatirons, and 

 heating water by the waterback sys- 

 tem. The dryer is, therefore, prac- 

 tically 'seated by what is ordinarily- 

 waste heat. 



We build and equip dryers for resi- 

 dences, apartment buildings, hotels, 

 hospitals and similar institutions, 

 in any number of compartments. 



Send for a copy of our No. H lo 

 catalogue, which will be mailed 

 free upon request. It describes 

 and illustrates dryers for all 

 requirements.

Our Greatest Achievement in Sanders 



Oscillating drums, 

 running in substan- 

 tial bearings. Geared 

 eccentric clamps, for 

 binding the san d- 

 paper on drums, 

 keep a uniform ten- 

 sion and prevent 

 tearing or swagging. 



The feed is driven 

 by train of heavy 

 expansion gearing. 

 The feed roll frame 

 and platen can be 

 raised and lowered 

 independently by au- 

 tomatic mechanism 

 thrown into gear by 

 lever convenient to 

 operator. 



THE CONQUEROR, No. 4 



Realizing the advantage of an easily accessible drum in machine sanders, we applied 

 ourselves to that end, and to-day we offer to the trade a triple drum sander that for 

 excellence of work, ease of manipulation and general mechanical perfection cannot be 

 equaled. Let us demonstrate to you the above factj a postal will bring full particulars.

Beauty and Protection 



The object of all house-painting is to combine these qual- 

 ities : The paint that longest protects a building at the lowest 

 average cost per annum affords the most efficient and econom- 

 ical protection; that which yields the purest and most lasting 

 tints is the most beautiful. OXIDE OF ZINC in paint increases 

 its protective efficiency, decreases its cost and enhances the 

 purity, brilliancy and durability of its tints. All good modern 

 house paint is based on OXIDE OF ZINC.
