Time to'Read Up 

 on Radiation 



Chances are you're not very busy this month 



— that gives you time to study out this radiator 

 question for yourself. 



Before you install any radiation, compare our 

 Pressed Metal Radiators with the cast-iron kind. 

 We say compare. 



You will find that Kinnear Pressed Radiators deliver the same amount 

 of heat as the big, clumsy cast-iron kind. 

 Exactly. 



You will find that, instead of heating up several tons of iron — which 

 takes time — that you can get quick heat — right out in the room. 



You will find that when you don't want any heat you don't get any heat 



— because 



Kinnear 

 Pressed Radiators 



"On the wall — off the floor — out of the way" 



cool off right sudden. Turn off the control valve of a cast-iron radiator and 

 wait an hour or so and perhaps that big mass of iron will be cold enough 

 then so you can put your hand on it. You know — by experience. Cast-iron 

 radiators weigh three times as much as the Kinnear Radiator and take up 

 twice as much room. 



A man can pick up a Kinnear Pressed Radiator and carry it upstairs 



— without puffing. 



Let us see anybody but a Sampson do the same with one of those cast- 

 iron monsters. 



Can't be done. 



Easy to handle, we say — and 

 that counts. 



Point by point our radiator 

 will stand any test you want to 

 give it.

^fT This is a story of outdoor boy life, suggesting a large num- 

 I ber of diversions which, aside from affording entertainment, 

 will stimulate in boys the creative spirit. In each instance 

 complete practical instructions are given for building the various 

 articles. ^ The needs of the boy camper are supplied by the direc- 

 tions for making tramping outfits, sleeping bags and tents ; also 

 such other shelters as tree houses, straw huts, log cabins and caves. 

 ^ The winter diversions include instructions for making six kinds of 

 skate sails and eight kinds of snowshoes and skis, besides ice boats, 

 scooters, sledges, toboggans and a peculiar Swedish contrivance 

 called a " rennwolf." i|| Among the more instructive subjects cov- 

 ered are surveying, wigwagging, heliographing and bridge-building, 

 in which six different kinds of bridges, including a simple can- 

 tilever bridge, are described.
