Boiler within Another, the two communicating one

space for the size of the boiler; No. 3, a medium size, having 
3,853 square inches of fire surface; consequently, it requires 
hut little fuel to run it. Hither wood or coal maybe used 
for fuel. 
It will cook more feed or heat more water in a given time 
than any other steamer of the same size or cost. It is more 
durable than any other, for the reason that the fire-box is 
made of wrought iron, and is entirely surrounded with 
water. We are also manufacturing

tories , etc. We manufacture for all the territory east of
