Underwear for Houses 
Underclothing makes people warm because it prevents the 
heat of their bodies from escaping. You can make your 
houses warm in the same way. 
Cabot’s Insulating Quilt 
prevents the house heat from escaping. It insulates the whole house 
and saves the heat from the heater—that costly heat. 7t keeps the 
house warm on the smallest amount of coal; saves one-quarter to one- 
half of the coal bill. Makes the house comfortable for all time. 
Preserves health and 9aves doctors’ bills. Makes the house cooler in 
summer. Quilt is not a mere felt or paper, but a scientific insulator 
that makes the house like a thermos bottle.
