\\\- employ (he largest force of lieatinj; 

 eiiyiiie^rs in America. Each iob has 

 iiiJividual attention. Particular care is 

 taken in locating the piping and radi- 

 ators to conform with the requirements 

 of the furnitune and window and door openings. No heating 

 hrm doing a merely local business could afford the services 

 of sucli a force of high-salaried experts. The Andrews Sys- 

 tem i^ distinctive, enbracing exclusive and patented features, 

 including the Andrews Regurgitating Safety Valve with group 

 ;;ystem of piping that produces liotter radiators and quicker 

 circulation, carrying more heat in the water. This insures 

 intense heat in the severest weatlier. as well as great fuel 

 t-Lonomy in mild weather. 



We manufacture our own boilers from 

 FACTORY steel. We prepare plans, with full de- 

 XO tailed bill of materials ( i.ubmitting lliem 



USER ^''^ owner of the house for his ap- 



proval). All the pipe is cut and reamed 

 in the factory and shipped complete, tied in bundles, b..-xed. 

 ready to screw together, with full instructions for etecting; 

 BO that any man at all handy with tools can place it in posi- 

 tion; thus we do away with costly and waste'ul cut-and-iry 

 methods of small tradesmen. The radiators C70 percent, of 

 the weight) are sliipped from the nearest distributing point, 

 freight rates e<]ualized. Our method gi^es you the benefit of 

 our latge experience and accuuvulated information. 



One customer writes to a friend : " Don't buy the small- 

 est plant, don't get the largest; bimply permit the company 

 lu supply you with what your situation or building and area 

 to be heated requires. They know best; they must guaran- 

 tee; lliey can and will do it." 



need not be a hard problem. No technical 

 skill is essential to a wise choice. There is 

 no mystery about boilers, radiators and 

 pipe. The principle is simple. Besides, if a 

 man selects his c)wn heating plant and sets 

 it installed, he has the confidence of mas- 

 tery — he is his own expert. This explains 

 why the first new Andrews System sold in 

 a community nearly always sells another — 

 an endless chain of Andrews Systems ena- 

 bles ns to produce them by the thousand 

 and sell them at a saving to purchasers of 

 iT* to 50 per cent. 



J, _ _ B?ats every other method of healing, be- 

 MUI cause it costb less to insrall. less to oper- 

 WATER keep in repair — and much less 



for fuel; for keeping tlit hou^e clean, 

 free from dust and gas, and comfortable in e\ery room, 

 nothing else can compare. Do sucli sweeping claims seem untrue.' 

 Stop to consider how mucli it would cost to buy a good, service- 

 able stove to warm thoroughly every room in the house, as is 

 done by a liot water system. Besides, stoves and furnaces burn 

 and rust out and need frequent repairs, while the hot water heat- 

 ing plant « ill last as long as the liouse. 



Hot u a er beats not merely one or two rooms, but gives an 

 even, pleasant temperature to all rooms reached. Hot water is 

 recognized as the ideal heat. C ost alone has stood in the way. 

 Now, however, by our method of selling direct from Factory-io- 

 User and our « holesale factory production, by which thousaiuls 

 of plants are turned out at a minimum cost by sprcially ailapted 

 machinery and skilled workers, e\eiy modern liome can have a 

 modern heating plant. 



Few fully realize that the boiler 

 sinmld be of the thinnest material 

 that will be amply strong and du- 

 rable. Tlie water should come 

 close to the fire, and the more heating surface thus closely 

 brought to absorb the heat from the combustion the 

 more rcon^ mical is the boiler's operation. 



The boiler should be so designed that every part ran 

 be reached and cleaned with ease. A soot-covered flue 

 loses half its heat-absorbing power. Notice the Andrews 

 Locomotive style of steel boiler on this page; points: 

 thin sheet of water around the fire; deep fire pot; ease 

 with which flues can be cleaned; economical and highly 

 satisfactory rocking yrate; large fire doors; adapted to 

 burn any fuel. AH boilers are made of 60.0<i0-p('und- 

 tensile-strength steel, tlie s^me as sieam-pouer boilers. 

 Customers who have replaced cast-iron boilers wiih 

 Andrews Steel Boilers have told us they saved by 

 the change SU per cent, of fuel.
