PERFECT COMBUSTION OF COAL.

Consequently, with half the fuel they will make
double the heat ofany other contriyance for house
warming ever invented.
Their operation is simple and kindling a
nominal ceremony only.
2. Light fire in autumn replenish coal and
remove the ashes once daily, and they go on
burning until spring.
8 They radate even, gentle and healthful
heat, with none of that abominable smell of gas
and burnt iron, so usual in common Stoves.
4. They will burn as brskly by day and as
slow by night as is desired, and can be regulated
to give the degree of heat required in any climate
5. They completely VENTILATE and ILLUMINATE
the room, thus making them as healthy and cheer
full as an open fire.
6. They are made entirely of Cast Iron, and
will not rust out as will Sheet Iron Stoves.
I. Being based upon scientific study and expert
ment, they must necessarily supersede all others.
8 Made in Baltimore, repairs can be had readi-
ly at small cost, while the cost and difficulty of
getting repairs for stoves made at distance
generally makes it preferable to buy q new one.
