ne grave SITUATION Ill tne coal mar
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 nc
eastern coal be shipped west and nc
western coal shipped east, 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 in quality the
heat units in this local coal are given
off much faster than they are con
sumed, which causes a 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 a 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 Goa
as valuable and as smokeless as east
ern coal, nothing short of 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 a permanent attachment
the simplicity of its construction be
came the great question. This part o
the construction was tried out for three
seasons before Mr.. Andrews woult
allow one machine to be sold, whei
he became satisfied that no furthe
improvements along this line coul'
be made, one of the machines wer
installed in Chicago and called to tn
attention of the Chicago smoke pre-
vention bureau. Inspectors were sen
to view the chimney and try ever
way possible to make the chime
smoke. Their report was so strongl
in favor of this particular machin
that It was viewed by the officials @
this office, who not only passed tn
device as meeting the requirements Q
the Chicago law, but compliments
Mr.. Andrews very highly on the sui
stantial construction Of this machine
About this time this machine cam
to the attention of Mr.. J. Il. Murph.
who was then employed by Samut
Kersten as heating and ventilating Ell
gineer. Mr.. Murphy at once saw tn
great advantage this particular IN,
chine has over any other similar d
vice for this purpose and began n
gotiations for the exclusive agent
for this machine in Chicago. This WI
granted him by Mr.. Andrews over
year ago. During Mr.. Murphy's fir
year with this machine so many wei
sold and all met with universal sati
faction, Mr.. Murphy took up the ma
ter of enlarging his field and WI
fortunate enough to get the excl
sive rights to make and market tn
machine in five states, including II
nois.
Mr.. Murphy now has factory !
Gated at ga West Kinzie street, ma
ing these machines for his own u,
and shipping out of Chicago, and Q
fees in the Unity Building, Room 32
127 North Dearborn street, where
is handling a large volume of bushes
for such new undertaking, and fro
the very nature of this business
this time when such device is an a
solute necessity to eliminate smok
save the nations and your own COZ
make It possible to burn local COT
the handling of this permanent wat
circulated fire wall can but grow to
very large business.
