Why We Are Able to Guarantee 
25 Per Cent. Saving on Coal 
All “open” heating systems (that is, straight- 
vapor, steam and hot water) must constantly 
work against an outside atmospheric pressure 
of 15 pounds to the square inch. 
Enough coal must be burned to bring the water 
up to 212 degrees F„ the boiling point, to over¬ 
come the 15 pounds atmospheric pressure. With 
Vapor-Vacuum Heating 
Trade Mark, Registered 
Kriebel System 
instead of an atmospheric resistance, there is a par¬ 
tial-vacuum assistance to draw and hold the vapor 
in the line. 
This is the big reason we can guarantee the saving 
of 25 per cent, in coal. 
That's the story in a nutshell — resistance with steam, straight-vapor and hot-water; assist¬ 
ance with vapor-vacuum; 25 per cent, coal saved. Valves are conveniently placed at the top 
of the radiators, and are quickly regulated to give any degree of heat. 
Our “Little Primer,” written so anybody can understand it, will be mailed free upon request. 
Be informed, at least.
