OX TME HEATIKiJ OF GREEIf -HOUSES,' COXSERYATOKIES, &e: 

 The most satisfactory, and in the end, economical method is un- 

 doubtedly by hot water. There are quite a number of boilers for this 

 purpose before the public, each of which is claimed to be the best, 

 and most economical; from our own experience, we feel no hesitation in 

 recommending the Horizontal Tubular Boiler, recently invented and 

 patented by Mr, Thos. J. Myers, Jr., of this city. We have three of 

 them now in operation, and find them entirely satisfactory. Their great 

 merit consists in their economy of fuel, as well as of space, not re- 

 quiring any deeper excavations of stoke-holes than the ordinary brick" 

 furnace and flue; to which it can be attached at a trifling expense; 

 the price of these boilers ranges from $30 to $60 according to size, 

 Mr. Myers personally superintends the putting up of his heating 

 apparatus at reasonable charges; his address is Thos. J. Myers, Jr., 

 1338 Passyunk Road, Philadelphia, Pa.
