Your Home 
There is nothing of which you 
are so willing to talk—nothing for 
which you are so willing to work, 
as your home. 
To you it is the most beautiful 
spot in all the world, and you can 
easily make it the second most 
beautiful spot in the eyes of your 
friends. 
But in this making you must re¬ 
member that a conservatory or 
greenhouse adds a touch of dig¬ 
nified opulence comparable to noth¬ 
ing else. It contributes a charm to 
your grounds and fragrant flowers 
for your house. 
Let us send our conservatory book 
to your summer address—it’s gratis.

The 75 new homes shown in the picture 
are all heated with gas and the heating 
plant in each house is controlled by a 
Minneapolis Heat Regulator 
This device automatically governs the supply of gas to the heater. It 
admits only enough to maintain the temperature exactly as 
desired. 
The operation of the thermostat closes the circuit when the 
temperature rises or falls below the desired degree and the 
operation of the motor opens or closes the valve thus letting 
in or shutting off the supply of gas. 
Heat Regulator 
“The Heart of the Heating Plant’* 
In addition to a saving of from 15% to 20% in your gas bill 
you enjoy real home comfort obtained by even, healthful 
temperatures day and night. 
It is equally serviceable for all heating plants—hot air, hot 
water, steam, vapor or vacuum systems—burning gas or coal.
