ket for the coming winter looks worse
than anything coal users passed
through last winter for several rea.
sons. Every possible facility for the
transportation of merchandise will be
required to ship supplies to the sea.
board to support the thousands of
soldiers going overseas by fall-food,
clothing. rifles, ammunition. cannon,
airplanes, autos. trucks and dozens of
other things will have to be shipped
by the thousands to supply these thou.
sands of men. besides the supply of
our allies, which alone taxed the rail.
roads almost to the breaking point
last winter. Add to this load the
winter requirements of coal, which is
the next largest item the railroads
are required to haul. the situation
then becomes very plain.
To relieve this situation some Di.
rector McAdoo has ordered that no
eastern coal be shipped west and no
western coal shipped east, a very wise
order. but 1t leaves the middle west
to burn their own coal at home. This
coal is just as high in heat units as
eastern coal, but owing to the fact
that 1t is much softer i'm quality the
| heat units in this local coal are given
off much faster than they are con.
sumed, which causes great loss of
these heat units up the chimney. This
change from eastern to local coal will
make the requirements in numbers of
! tons in Chicago and the middle west
! thousands more than in former years
to make up for this great loss of heat
| units.
The keen foresight and inventive.
ness of former steam heating con-
tractor makes 1t possible to overcome
these conditions. Mr.. J. S. Andrews
of Gary, Ind, seeing these conditions
advance. began the study of ways and
means for making this grade of coal
as valuable and as smokeless as east
ern COAL nothing short of a perma.
nent, indestructible. simple and re.
liable attachment to accomplish these
results would satisfy him. After find
ing the proper method of getting these
results with permanent attachment
the simplicity of its construction be
came the great question. This part of
the construction was tried out for three
seasons before Mr.. Andrews would
allow one machine to be sold, when
he became satisfied that no further
improvements along this line could
be made, one of the machines were
installed in Chicago and called to the
attention of the Chicago smoke pre-
vention bureau. Inspectors were sent
to view the chimney and try ever!
way possible to make the chime!
smoke. Their report was so strongl,
in favor of this particular machine
that II was viewed by the officials o
this office, who not only passed thu
device as meeting the requirements o
the Chicago law, but complimente'
Mr.. Andrews very highly on the sub
stantial construction of this machine
/ About this time this machine cam
/ to the attention of Mr.. J. Il. Murphy
| who was then employed by Samue
l Kersten as heating and ventilating Ell
gineer. Mr.. Murphy at once saw tn
great advantage this particular mi
chine has over any other similar d.
vice for this purpose and began m
gotiations for the exclusive agenc
for this machine In Chicago. This wa
granted him by Mr.. Andrews over
year ago. During Mr.. Murphys fir
year with this machine 50 many wei
= sold and all met with universal sati
- faction, Mr.. Murphy took up the ma
ter of enlarging his field and wa
fortunate enough to get the excl
siye rights to make and market tn
machine in five states, including III

Mr. Murphy now has a factory /
