LET US START WITH THE RECEPTION HALL—THE 
THERMCMETER SHOWS 72 
Mr. F. S. Plasterer <5f Huntington, Ind., is a manufac¬ 
turer of more than local fame. He has a wide acquaintance 
throughout northern Indiana, and is used to the best in his 
home. 
M r. Plasterer 
has permitted us 
to tell his own 
story of the Calo¬ 
ric Pipeless .Fur¬ 
nace: 
“My House has 
nine rooms and a 
bath. It was al¬ 
ways difficult t o 
heat it satisfactor¬ 
ily. We had a big 
baseburner in our 
living room, an¬ 
other one upstairs, a range in our kitchen, grates and gas heat¬ 
ers in our bathroom and the hall. Even then some of the rooms 
were too cold to be habitable during the winter months, and 
we shut up several of them. 
“One day I was visited by an agent for the Caloric Pipeless 
Furnace. He told me he could heat my houses I didn’t believe 
him, but when he undertook to explain the principles on which 
this furnace jvorked I became interested, and I later ordered 
one. 
“That was 
one of the best 
things I ever 
did, because the 
comfort we have 
enjoyed every 
year since then 
has more than 
counter bal¬ 
anced the low 
first cost. 
“But my 
neighbors didn’t 
think I was do- 
Ing a good 
thing. Several 
called bn me 
and told me they 
thought I was 
foolish to try to 
heat a large 
house with one 
register. One neighbor said he would make an 
engagement with me for the first day the tem¬ 
perature was below zero and bring blankets with 
him to keep our family warm. We invited him to 
dinner that day and showed him every room in 
the house warmer than seventy degrees, and the 
furnace not running at full blast. 
the stairway runs up from it, and 
yet you can see by the thermometer 
that it is seventy-two degrees warm. 
All winter this hall has been very 
comfortable, and I tell you it means 
something to a man to come in from 
the cold streets to a house that is 
warm all the way through. 
“Right at the side of the entrance 
hall is our parlor with three big win¬ 
dows. We have used it all winter 
without closing the doors, and it has 
been just as warm as the entrance hall. 
“You can look through the doors 
of the parlor into our living room, 
where the register is. Our friends 
told us that the living room would 
be unbearably hot and the rest of the 
house cold, but the thermometer tells 
a different story. 
“A door from this living room com 
municates with the kitchen, and it has 
another door from the dining room. 
We have used only a gas range all 
winter, and the kitchen has been very 
comfortable. We haven’t had anything 
freeze, and the terror of freezing water 
pipes that used to be ours is now a 
thing of the past.

‘You can See 
from the picture of 
the dining room 
that it has a big bay 
window. Before we 
put in the Caloric 
this bay window 
was always cold. 
Mrs. Plasterer did 
not dare put her 
plants in it, and the 
.unlucky one of the 
family that sat with 
back to the bay 
window at meals 
wanted something 
more than house 
clothes. Now it is 
a favorite place for 
the cat. 
OUR FRIENDS SAID THE UVING ROOM WOULD GET TOO HOT-THE 
THERMOMETER TELLS A DIFFERENT STORY 
“If you will come with me through my home 
I think I can convince you that the jCaloric heats 
the house very comfortably. Let us start in with 
the reception hall. It has two big windows, and 
“Now, let’s take 
a look at the upstairs. The room I show you 
here is a large bed chamber with a big bay win¬ 
dow. It faces the northwest, and whenever the 
wind came from that direction in the winter time, 
my wife and I felt the necessity for more cover¬ 
ing; in fact, sometimes we had to get up and go 
into one of the other rooms. You know our In¬ 
diana weather is cutting and our house faces the 
river, so that when the wind swept up over the 
ice it seemed to go right through the window 
panes. Now my wife’s taste for flowers can be 
The Original PatenteiVipeless Furnace 
gratified in any room in the house and 
our bedroom always has some beauti¬ 
ful plants. 
“The hallway through the center of 
the upstairs seems to act as a runway 
for the heat. We leave the doors of 
the other bedrooms open and they are 
very comfortable; in fact, my daught¬ 
ers, who prefer a cold room, close these 
bedroom doors in the afternoon so that 
their sleeping chambers will be cool. 
“At the far end of the hall is the 
bathroom. In the long winter nights, 
with the thermometer way down, this 
is always comfortable, and we have 
never had any possibilities of frozen 
water pipes. 1 refer to those frozen 
• water pipes again because it was a 
pretty serious matter when we had two 
baseburners, a kitchen range and two 
oil stoves trying to heat the house. 
“Then, there is another feature that 
Mrs. Plasterer says is worth as much 
to her as anything else. We have a big 
attic over the whole house, and on rainy 
days and in cold weather this is where 
we hang our family washing. We just 
open the door leading to the attic stair¬ 
way, and the furnace does the rest. It 
is so clean that the clothes are never 
dusty and never marred by 
coal smoke as they used to 
be when we had the stoves. 
“Now that I have shown 
you where we live, let’s go 
down and look at the fur¬ 
nace. I want you to see how 
little room it takes, and how 
we can use our cellar. The 
furnace keeps the tempera¬ 
ture just above freezing. 
This enables me to lay in a 
nice stock of vegetables and 
fruits when prices are com¬ 
paratively low, and to carry 
them through the winter 
with the perfect assurance 
that they will keep weU. 
^ P n. NOW LET’S GO DOWN AND LOOK AT THE FURNACE 
Another thing I like about the furnace is the 
cleanliness. The ashes and dust in handling the 
furnace are less than what I used to take from one of 
my baseburners. Nor have we any trouble with this 
furnace smoking. So the house is easily kept clean. 
“You see I haven’t a big coal bin. When I had 
the two baseburners I used to buy for them and the 
kitchen range fifteen to eighteen tons of coal, and 
I want to tell you that it was some job to carry 
that coal upstairs and to carry the ashes down. 
Now I reach from the furnace to the coal bin with 
my shovel and I put the ashes out of the window 
at the side of the furnace. It isn’t any work at all. 
OUR BEDROOM—THIS ONCE COLD BAY WINDOW 19 NOW 
A PLACE FOR FLOWERS * 
“Besides, and this will be good news to the people who ar§ 
thinking of furnaces, I don t burn as much coal by forty per 
cent. It is a very unusual winter that would require me to use 
nine or ten tons of coal. In fact, since the furnace was in, I 
have never 
reached that 
amount. 
“Then I 
had another 
experience. 
In a build¬ 
ing opera¬ 
tion I had 
to remove 
a lot of pil¬ 
ing that had 
been used 
to make a 
platform, 
the boys 
were going 
to burn that 
up, but I had a saw and I had this cut into chunks and stored 
in my cellar. Pretty nearly all of the winter I fired the fur¬ 
nace on this wood, that otherwise would have been wasted, 
and the fire kept just as well as it did with the coal. In fact 
we burn all kinds of trash in this furnace. 
“Do you wonder, then, with my house comfortable at 
less than two-thirds of 
what it used to cost 
me in money, and less 
than one-third of what 
it used to cost me in 
labor, I am enthusias¬ 
tic about the Caloric? 
To my mind it is the 
one best buy in heating 
devices, and I wouldn’t 
be without mine for 
ten times its cost.” 
Mr. Plasterer is not 
alone in this opinion of 
the Caloric Pipeless 
Furnace. We have 
hundreds of customers 
who will tell you stories 
equally as interesting. 
You needn’t suffer the inconvenience of stove 
heating another winter. The Caloric can be 
installed in any house, and the one register will 
not cut into your walls or make it necessary for 
you to incur a big bill for redecorating or re¬ 
placing plaster and woodwork. 
Perhaps there is a Caloric dealer in your town. 
See him. He will show you the furnace, explain 
to you why it is so successful and tell you about 
our strong guarantee. If you don’t know him, 
write to us and we will send you our booklet. 
Progress, that explains why the Caloric is so 
superior.
