The Manufacture and Use of Electric
Fans Confined to This Country.
A feature of interest connected with
electric fans is that they are purely
American, both by right of invention
and OF use. 1t is a somewhat singular
fact that their use in other countries
and in hot climates has been so limit
ed, but it is believed that at least the
beginning of a considerable export
trade in this class of merchandise has
been made, and that from now on in.
creasing and satisfactory numbers of
these instruments will be shipped
from our American ports.
A modern development Of the fan.
which was primarily designed for
ventilation and for moving air or the
creation of small breezes, is the appli-
cation to the fan mechanism of cool
Ing and heating devices, so that an
actual change in the temperature of
the air may be made. In this way
certain electric fan installations have
been made lately which serve the
triple purpose of cooling in summer.
