BIG PLANT TO
MAKE RADIATORS
international Company Has
Forged Rapidly ALI ad
With its Pro ducts
PRINCIPLE SIMPLE
BUT VERY EFFECTIVE

With the completion OF its new plant
at Eleventh and Union streets, the In
ternational Radiator Company Is now
prepared to MI the largest orders that
could be placed with it. Though this
company has the youngest Of the larger
plants Of the city. it is destined TO be-
come one of the leading plants of the
city, owing to the character of the pro-
duct it win furnish TO the market. II is
only the question Of short time until
the radiator being built at this plant
will be in general use.
The Wilmington plant is now the
main construction plant OF this COM
pany, but It viii be the manufaetnr-
ing plant for the entire output. as
soon as the compay makes the re-
n'ainder of its preparations. which will
be within two or three months. Tho
large building formerly used by tho
Delaware Hard Fibre Company has
been converted into the factory for the
product. The quarters now used for the
construction of the radiators Is di-
vided into two large rooms. In one
room the machinery for manufacture
of the radiators is working. while In
the other enamelers are az work. The
radiators are made from large sheets
of steel, pressed. cold into corrugations
or creases, designed. This was one Of
the hardest propositions the company
had TO contend with as steel in being
pressed cold into corrugations or creas-
es, usually cracks or wrinkles. leaving
surface altogether undesirable and
unsightly. but the company has worked

making the production from steel that
can be handled readily and without the
inconvenience Of the furnace
This radiator is entirely different
from all other propositions that have
been undertaken by those who heated
houses by hot air. They can be used
with any hot air furnace The heat
enters the radiator by one pipe and IS
carried through the different layers ~
steel each about one inch thick.
radiating their heat and returning
finally after giving off the heat in the
room through a pipe leading back 10
the furnace. In this way the heating
Of the room is accomplished without
the hot air actually being carried into
the room and the heat is uniform in all
parts OF the house as it is impossible
for drafts Of air to carry the heat back
or reversing the draft of air back into
the furnace. The same heat is transmit
ted by the air with the windows up as
with them closed so that the PROPOSE
tin OF ventilation Is easily overcome.
In fact the colder the weather or the
room the more heat is transmitted for
the air is cooled faster and returns back
to the furnace more quickly.
System is Cheap.
This system is more than one-quar-
ter cheaper 70 install than steam or
hot water heat and at the same time
brings the same heating results. Since
there is no moisture or water con-
nected directly with the heating all
danger of leaks and destruction of dec
orations IS avoided. Since the hot air
never comes into the room, or rather Is
never liberated into the room. all un-
desirable gases from the furnace and
all odors from the basement room are
eliminated and no dust can go up
through the house. In fact the system
is the development OF circulating hot
air through the house practically the
same as steam or hot water. but there
is always avoided the danger OF leaks
and it is cheaper to install. Another ad-
