Rotary Ash 
Receiving; System 
Solves that dirty problem of moving ashes from ash pit to ash can. Disposes of 
unsightly ash barrel and rubbish heap in the cellar. Stops dust nuisance every 
time you shake the furnace and remove the ashes. Stops that fine, floating dust 
that sifts up through the floor and settles on rugs, carpets, furniture, and dra¬ 
peries. In fact it is such a convenience and saving that it is a wonder some one 
never thought of it before. 
Approved by Health Officers and Physicians; by Architects and Heating Engineers. 
The cost is not prohibitive, even for the 
ordinary home, when you consider the saving 
of labor, dirt and dust, — to say nothing of Once every week or less often 
the features of cleanliness and sanitation. ash cans are lifted out — no effort 
Just on the market but already installed in 
many homes where owners would not be with¬ 
out it. 
Your dealer can install easily before he sets up 
the new furnace, and any one can dig the pit and 
make the installation where the furnace or heater 
is already in operation. He sure that your Architect 
specifies the SHARI' ROTARY ASH RECEIVING 
SYSTEM. Your dealer may not know about this 
new device yet, but we can supply you at once.

Fertilizer and Grass Seed Sower 
Sows 
Fertilizer 
and 
Grass Seed 
The “Velvetlawn” Fertilizer and Grass Seed Sower will 
sow any brand of dry pulverized fertilizer and will also 
sow Grass and Clover Seeds. The machine sets low to 
the ground, the bottom of the hopper being only two 
inches from the ground; therefore the wind cannot blow 
away the materials being sown. The cultivator teeth work 
the seed or fertilizer into the soil. ELIMINATES WASTE 
PROMOTES GROWTH. 
SAVE THE COST OF SOD 
It is foolish to sod, because a better lawn can be had by sowing 
pure bred grass seed at one-tenth the expense. Cost of the machine 
included. “Velvetlawn” Fertilizer and Grass Seed Sowers have 
proven their worth by the work they have done — by the money they 
have saved. It is even more necessary than a good lawn mower. The 
grade of a newly-made lawn can be maintained and the proper 
amount of seed worked into the soil at the same time. Invaluable 
in the maintainance of old lawns, because the cultivator teeth 
work up the soil and new seed is being sown at the same 
time. 
ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEED to do all we claim for 
them, or money refunded without fuss.
