THE CHAMPION HORIZONTAL TUBULAR BOILER ( 
:No.»9090 
) 
WHICH IS WITHOUT DOUBT THE BEST ALL-ROUND BOILER IN THE MARKET. 
It combines all the advantages of its class so well 
known, and by the improved method of forming the 
loints—viz., with India Rubber Washers, THE 
OLD AND TOO OFTEN INEFFECTUAL WAY 
O F CAULKING THE JOINTS IsTnTIRELY 
DISPENSED WITH. 
It can be erected in a few hours, and may be relied 
upon as a thoroughly sound and good Hot-water 
Generator. It has been carefully tested in every 
possible way, more especially with regard to power 
and durability, and the result has been highly 
satisfactory. 
In the event of a Pipe in this Boiler requiring to 
be replaced, an arrangement has been perfected 
whereby the same may be made in the course of a 
FEW MINUTES, without the necessity of dis¬ 
turbing the brickwork setting.
