Whether the Home Is Old or New 
This Heat Is the Heat of Heats 
I T is the heat of heats, mainly because it is a health heat. A 
heat that is as fresh and wholesome as the gladsome sunshiny 
outdoors. A heat that has the welcome restfulness of being 
noiseless. No hissing and sissing; or thumping and banging. 
A heat that allows a contentment of mind, because of an ab¬ 
solute freedom from leaking valves, or frozen pipes to flood 
floors and ruin rugs or ceilings. 
A heat, that because of its freedom from radiators and the 
accompanying exposed piping, is neither an ugly obtrusion, nor a 
mar to the harmony of the room. 
Whether in an old or new house, the Kelsey heat ducts can be 
kept out of sight, and the heat openings be inconspicuous. 
The old Carter House, at Shirley, and the Patrick Henry 
House, at Brookneal, Virginia, are both Kelsey Health Heated. 
Imagine the unfitness of radiators in either instance. 
To say it briefly, the Kelsey Health Heat heats and ventilates 
at the same time. It mixes the air with just the right amount of 
moisture. 
It will deliver more heat from less coal than any other heat. 
We can prove it.
