The simplicity of the Ruud Water Heater is most wonderful. 
All the hot ater you n.vant by simply turning any hot ‘water faucet. 
No trouble ; no overheated kitchen ; no trotting down stairs in 
the night. Just turn the faucet and the star-ts itself , sends 
you scalding hot water in ten seconds, and stops working the 
instant faucet is closed. 
Another wonderful feature of the 
Wafer Heater 
is, that while working it actually regulates the so that there is absolutely 
no waste. It gives cleaner hot water than a kitchen range tank; reduces fuel ex¬

Uses either artificial or natural gas. A marvel of simplicity and convenience.

walnut and some kind of wood like ebonv 
which appears in panels that are set on. 
I also wish to upholster the sofa, one 
large chair and two side chairs after 
these frames have been done over. 
Answer: We are familiar with the 
style of walnut furniture you describe. 
It was very much favored some fifty or 
sixty years ago and in many of our old 
homes it is still found. 
You do wisely in determining against 
the use of paint. This would, of course, 
conceal the grain and color of the wood 
which is its greatest claim to beauty. 
All the pieces should be thoroughly 
washed with warm water in which a 
little white soap has been dissolved, 
rinsing with clear water and rubbing 
perfectly dry. Let it stand for a day and 
then apply a furniture renovating 
material, the name of which we send you 
by mail. This you can depend upon 
giving satisfactory results. 
You have not given us any description 
of the other furnishings in your room 
and therefore we are at a loss to suggest 
an appropriate furniture covering to you. 
A closely covered tapestry in shades of 
tan, brown, dull red and a little blue is 
acceptable for such furniture. If, how¬ 
ever, you will send us some description, 
we will be glad to give you not only 
advice hut send you samples of the ma¬ 
terial advocated.
