Eleven Points of Superiority 
Possessed by the 
International Sanitary Hover 
(1) It is warmer at the curtain than near the center. This causes the chicks 
to distribute themselves just back of the edge of the curtain, where they have a 
constant supply of fresh air and plenty of room. (2) It is entirely circular and 
has no corners for the chicks to crowd into. (3) The lamp holder can be lifted 
out through the top of the hover by a person standing up. This makes it unneces¬ 
sary for the operator to kneel in dust or mud to tend 
his lamp. (4) It can be carried around with ease 
and used' anywhere, thus making unnecessary the 
building of an expensive brooder house. (5) No 
carpenter work is required in connection with it—no 
cutting of holes nor building of platforms. (6) It 
is complete in itself and ready for use wherever it 
may be dropped. (7) It is metal throughout (except 
the curtain, of course) and is therefore vermin proof 
as well as fireproof. Unlike the wooden hover, it 
will not absorb dirt and hold it. (8) The inch of 
selected insulating material between the two layers 
of the top prevents excessive radiation of heat 
upward from the cover. Plenty of heat is radiated 
downward upon the backs of the chicks. (9) It 
cannot be burned nor broken and cannot warp and 
fall apart. At the worst it can only be dented or 
kinked through rough usage. (10) Although portable—easy to carry around 
and usable anywhere — it provides nearly 
two hundred square inches more hovering 
space than any other hover. (11) It gives 
ample heat under the hover without so heat¬ 
ing the surrounding floor space as to cause 
leg weakness among the chicks.
