FaVOrite Base Burner

There is no necessity for shutting up yom
home and living in just few rooms this win
ter. You can heat your entire home comfort
ably and with less cost than you paid for
heating one or two rooms last year.
That is, if you have a FAvORITE Base
Burner.
The FAVORITE sends all the heat from
The fire into the room. None goes up the chin
ney. It is the only Base Burner you can say
this of.
The new model FAVORITE BASE
BURNER has added several square feet to it's
radiating surface. The old model had more
radiating surface than any other BASE
BURNER. The new model has increased this
advantage. You cannot find place on the
FAVORITE that is not pouring heat into the
room.
The FAVORITE has the most perfect and
scientifically constructed fue system of any
Base Burner. The heat from the fire passes
into these fues and reaches every square inch
of the stove. And when the heat has to
traverse the entire surface of the FAVORITE
BASE BURNER before it reaches the Chin
ney, you can be sure that not very much heat
is going to waste.
You want to see the FAVORITE. Call at
our store and look at it. Get our salesman to
explain it to you. It's of vital Importance to
your pocket book.
