The Reliable 
Gas Brooder 
The Reliable Gas Thermostat is equally efficient with all 
kinds of gas. The double wafer is extremely sensitive to 
the slightest change. The valve and seat are made of 
brass, so shaped that they cannot stick and will wear in¬ 
definitely. The working parts are protected from damage 
by a metal cage. 
The Reliable Gas Brooder is the result of years of ex¬ 
haustive experiment on the poultry ranch and scientific 
mechanical development in the reliable factory. Practical 
and economical in operation, low in first cost and of 
pleasing appearance, this brooder has attained great 
popularity. 
Constructed of the best quality galvanized copper 
bearing iron, reinforced around the edge with heavy wire. 
The canopy is pressed from one piece of seamless metal, 
making it extremely durable, rigid and properly shaped. 
The Reliable Brooders are equipped with Baffle Plate 
below the burner, which eliminates the fire hazard, and 
permits hanging the brooder closer to the floor, throw¬ 
ing the heat further out and over the backs of chicks. 
This new safety feature means a great saving in fuel 
and insures a more uniform heat for the chicks. The 
brooder is also equipped with suspension brackets which 
permit the easy removal of the burner for cleaning. 
New type burners with hot point flame furnish ample 
heat. This type insures perfect combustion before the 
flame comes in contact with the steel plate. The separate 
pilot light burns constantly with a clear blue flame, and is 
not easily extinguished. During the heat of the day the 
thermostat shuts off the main burner, and when tem¬ 
perature lowers, the gas starts flowing automatically, 
and is ignited by the pilot.
