Why Endure Mental 
I#' Physical Drudgery 
Without a reliable temperature 
regulator, you open your dampers 
in the morning (or at night), put 
on coal and wait for the house to 
get warm, keeping always in mind 
the fact that you must close the 
dampers. Again the rooms get cold during the 
day and you open the dampers with the same waiting and 
burden of remembering. Your memory isn’t accurate— 
can’t be—and you have a fluctuating temperature with 
consequent discomfort and waste of fuel. 
a 
Hear Regulator 
This device, proven satisfactory in thousands of homes for 
nearly a third of a century, takes complete and accurate 
charge of the dampers on any style of heating plant burn¬ 
ing coal or gas. It will maintain a uniform temperature 
of any degree you wish. It will automatically raise the low 
night temperature to the comfortable day temperature. We 
guarantee it to do all this to your entire satisfaction. 
ENTIRELY AUTOMATIC 
For the home owner who wishes to eliminate all care of the regu¬ 
lator motor we have just perfected our electric motors which re- 
QUire no winding. For homes having electric current we supply 
our alternating current motor, the power being secured direct from 
the lighting circuit. Where no electric current is available our 
direct current motor is used witli power furnished 
by four cells of dry battery, which have ample 
capacity to last a full year. 
The “Minneapolis” is sold, installed and guar- 
a teed by the heating trade everywhere. Send for

“They Come In Bundles, Stained, Ready to Lay Without Waste” 
Leading architects in all parts of the country specify "CREO-DIPT” Stained Shingles 
for pleasing effect and building economy. Just as railroad ties are preserved, we make 
shingles proof against dry-rot, decay, worms and weather. We stain them in lasting 
colors. 
We select best Cedar Shingles sawed in vertical grains from live timber—no wedge- 
shaped shingles, no waste. The best shingles. 
We use earth pigments and pure creosote—no aniline dyes—no kerosene, benzine or 
other cheapener. The best color effect. 
We are responsible for both quality of shingles and quality of stains. 
Save the muss, time and waste of staining on the job. Last twice as long as brush- 
coated or natural shingles. 
"CREO-DIPT” Stains do not harm rain water.
