THE 
Standard Water Heater 
is what you need for your bungalow, as it will make it 
possible to supply hot water quickly 
at a very low cost. 
T We have made this heater, to be 
I y A used with kerosene as fuel, to fill a 
long felt want. 
SAVING TIME 
The cold water inlet is on both sides 
for convenience. The method of 
heating is very simple. The copper 
coil through which the water flows is 
heated. As soon as the water is hot 
it circulates and rises to the top, 
whence it may be drawn as needed. 
HOT WATER QUICKLY 
If an ordinary supply of hot water 
is wanted, it will take but a few 
minutes after lighting both burners. 
Sufficient hot water for a bath can 
be had at the trifling cost of less than 
one cent. By heating the entire con- 
tents of the tank, a reserve can be 
had. 
COST 
One gallon of kerosene will burn 
about seven hours if both burners are 
lighted.
