To Heat a^U Out of Doors? 



The Thompson Tubular Furnace 



Utilizes for heating the house 90 per cent of the heat produced by the fuel. The 

 remaining 10 per cent goes to the chimney to maintain the draft required to safely 

 carry off the products of combustion. 



WE MANUFACTURE: 



The Thompson Tubula>.r for Coal, 



The Thompson Tubula^r for Natural Gas, 

 The Thompson Tubula^r for Coal Oil. 



These furnaces give a larger volume of air, 

 better circulation and more uniform tem- 

 perature than any other. 



Our furnaces for natural gas and coal oil are 

 the only ones in which these fuels can be 

 effectively and economically used for house 

 heating with hot air. 



In January, 1902, the Springfield Fur- 

 nace Company put two Thompson Tubular 

 Furnaces in the Presbyterian church at 

 Glenshaw, Penn., in place of two furnaces. 

 The result is shown in the following letter 

 from the Secretary of the Board of Trustees: 

 (Glenshaw is near Pittsburg.)

Gentlemen: 



As secretary of the Board of Trustees 

 of the Glenshaw Presbyterian Church the 

 writer takes pleasure in saying that the 

 two Thompson Tubular Furnaces installed 

 in that church during the early winter 

 have proved most satisfactory. The two 

 furnaces took the place of coal heaters and 

 we not only have been satisfied with the 

 amount of heat, but can say that our bills 

 for gas for fuel did not equal the former 

 expense for coal. 



After several months' trial we are glad 

 to report that the furnaces seem to be all 

 right, both as heaters and as economical 

 fuel consumers. Yours truly, 



JOZN L. HAINES 



Mr. AV. D. Johnston, President of the

Pittsburg, Pa., TJ. S. A., 



December 27, 1901. 

 The Springfield Furnace Co., 



Springfield, Ohio. 

 Gentlemen: 



It gives me much pleasure to inform 

 you that after two months' trial of your 

 Gas Furnace I am more than satisfied 

 with it. During the extreme cold spell 

 we were not compelled to run the furnace 

 to its limit. In fact, we did not need 

 more than two-thirds its capacity, and it 

 kept the house just as comfortable as could 

 be wished. I am also pleased to say that 

 in the amount of gas consumed I find this 

 furnace to be economical, and I take great 

 pleasure in recommending the furnace to 

 any one wishing something that will 

 prove eminently satisfactorj'. 

 With kindest regards, believe me to be. 

 Yours very truly, 



W. D. JGHNSTOI], 

 President American Lumber & Mf.::. Co.
