Woodworking machinery, Mr.. LennoS
explains that this is where the wooden

invents and constructs. We are yet to
see the great moulding room.
The major pari. of the furnace shop
is devoted to the setting up OF the iron
parts CT the Ls,nnox furnace. Here
twenty-five men are at work setting
rivets with an Ingenious machine, cut
ting great steel plates with Lennox
shear and performing all the other de-
tails of construction of furnace that
has had unriva1ed sale thruotit Iowa

THE FURNACE.
The Lennox furnace has proved the
quickest selling article ever constructed
in this foundry. Being so sirnpl. OF con-
struction dealers like to handle t. They
have no trouble setting 1t up and very
seldom are called upon to furnish re-
pairs. The furnace body stands erect,
made of steel, rivited gas and steam
tight like boiler. No SCOT collects and
no fumes escape into the pipes SO that
soft coal is burned with has good salts
faction as hard coal thereby reducing
the cost of fuel and making the furn-
ace money saver over the cd fash
toned cast iron furnaces that are still
doing business on the advertised repu-
tation of twenty years ago.
Mr.. Lennox makes his furnace with
the same care that he makes boiler.
He has made the Torrid Zone u modern
furnace with many of the ectionable
features of the old furnaces eliminated.
There are no cenented or packed joints.
The fire pot is sectional and easily re-
placed. With this arrangement and a
steel heating surface the Torrid Zone
will never wear out. Over 130 of them
have been sold III the last month. going
to parties in Iowa. Nebraska, Missouri,
Minnesota, South Dakota and even back
to the old states of Pennsylvania, Wis
cousin. Ohio and Indiana. With the
Torrid Zone is also provided .ombina-
ton of hot water and hot air heating
SO arranged that the water is heated by
the fire laying against 1t and not It the
expense of the r,ldiating surfaite On top
which leaves the hot air capiicity the
same and the hot water capacity clear
gain. No furnace east or west is so
well adapted to the combination CT hot
water and hot air heating il the
Torrid Zone.
