for the past six years, during which time they
have been tested in the coolest portions OF the
United States and Canada and the satisfactory
reports received from parties who are well quail

most positively to their worth and efficiency, the
substantial character of their construction which
is both scientific and practical, their power and
simplicity of management together with the fact
that the same fire that produces the warm air
generates the steam without extra fuel, are es-
pecal features that render this apparatus the
most desirable and economical manufacturers II
