How Will You Solve 
This All-Important Problem? 
How to have your home “warm 
as toast” during the coldest blasts 
ofyvinteris indeed a problem. And, 
at the soaring price of coal, it is a 
very important one. 
How you solve the problem de¬ 
pends upon how well acquainted 
you become with the Dunham 
Vapor Heating System. 
The Dunham System makes every 
ounce of 
coal count. 
It prevents 
overheating 
as well as 
underheat¬ 
ing. It quickly and 
silently delivers the 
heat-giving vapor to all 
the radiators—and it 
gets every bit of heat 
out of the vapor. 
Silent heating means 
more than mere comfort 
—it means economy. 
Knocking and pound¬ 
ing in radiators, hissing 
air-valves and spurting 
water mean wasted heat- 
units. The Dunham 
Radiator Trap prevents 
these wastes. 
The Dunham System automati¬ 
cally regulates the dampers. At 
bedtime a Dunhamized heating 
system automatically cools down ; 
at getting-up time it automatically 
raises the temperature to normal. 
No going to the cellar—merely set 
the Dunham Thermostat as you 
would an alarm clock. 
The Dunham System maintains 
the temper¬ 
ature of the 
home auto¬ 
matically at 
either one of 
two prede¬ 
termined levels—with 
the minimum of atten¬ 
tion—for it operates the 
boiler throughout the 
day and night, eliminat¬ 
ing all care except put¬ 
ting in the coal and tak¬ 
ing out the ashes.

ham Heating for the

Radiator Trap 
The Dunham Radiator 
Trap is the guardian of the 
coal bin. It is one of the 
fundamentals of the Dun¬ 
ham Vapor System. It is 
known the world over to 
heating engineers as the 
device that revolutionized 
vacuum steam heating. 
Leading architects every¬ 
where use it.

from bungalows and camps to suburban residences and country mansions, the deep, 
rich colors of 
Cabot’s Creosote Stains 
are most beautiful and appropriate for the shingles, siding or timbers. The colors are clear 
and transparent and bring out the beauty of ttie grain of the wood instead of covering it as 
paint does. They cost only half as much as paint, can be put on twice as fast, the colors are 
lasting, and the Creosote "is the best wood preservative known." 
You can get Cabot's Stains alt over the country. Send 
for stained wood samples and name of nearest agent.

D ON’T postpone building your home. Build¬ 
ing-material experts agree that there can 
be no decline in building costs for many years 
after the war. 
Build now. But build wisely. Apply thrift standards to 
woods just as you do to your everyday purchases. Select 
the woods that have proved themselves best for the uses 
to which you put them. 
White Pine 
Any architect, carpenter or lumber dealer will tell you 
that for the outer covering of a house—subjected to the 
rigorous onslaught of rain and snow, heat and cold, sun 
and wind—no other wood is so durable and holds its place 
so well, without warping, splitting, rotting or opening at 
the joints, as White Pine. 
“White Pine in Home-Building” is beautifully illustrated and 
full of valuable information and suggestions on home-building.
