SCHAEFFER & MOWEN
Cal0ric Furnaces

| Among the many successes that
| have attended mans efforts along all
lines of endeavor, there are few of
! greater value than that effecting the
home. Any invention that will lessen
drudgery and add to the pleasure and
/ comfort Of home-life is to be appre-
! ciated above all others. The word
! home" has always had a sacred
meaning to it, and the man who does
not appreciate his home is lacking in
! those finer elements and character
istics that make life more ennobling
and worthy Of being lived. When
John Howard Payne wrote, Home,
Sweet Home" it is said he was
Wanderer in the streets, yet he knew
something about the ties of home-life
and could appreciate the good for
tune of the man who possessed a
home, and his immortalized words
were given to the world from the
depths of his heart.
To convert a house into a home
one must supply it with modern con-
veniences, and we are living in a day
when there is no occasion for anyone
to be without an abundance of COM
forts. The one that is paramount, no
doubt, is that effecting the proper
heating of the entire building at a
reasonable cost. 1t would seem that
the manufacturers of the Caloric
Pipeless Furnace have solved the
problem, and are offering citizens in
towns, cities and rural sections a
heating device that displaces coal
stoves, CRATES and wood fires. The
Caloric has a number Of good points;
it conserves health by keeping an even
temperature of circulated, moist,
warm air throughout the house; it
heats from one to eighteen rooms
with a single register; it requires
only minimum amount of space
there are no pipes to obstruct the
cellar; it keeps the dust and dirt of
fuel and ashes out of the house; it
does not heat the cellar, and al
though it will prevent freezing, it
never raises the temperature high
enough to spoil perishable products; it !
maintains the proper fire with very
little attention, all drafts being regu-
lated from the floor above. In point
OF economy, it is wonder, as every
pound of fuel consumed delivers a
maximum amount Of heat directly to
the rooms above; it can be installed
in old buildings without the necessity
Of, costly remOdeling, and the manu-
facturers claim that it can be placed
in new buildings with less trouble and
expense than any other type of fur
mace. The Caloric is priced low, it's
cost being within the reach of thou
sands of home owners who have been
previously forced to rely upon in
adequate stove heating. lit is sold on
q guarantee, and il it does not do
everything that is claimed for it, the
cost is RENTED. A fairer proposition
could not be made by any concern
Offering its product to the trade. 1t
is built to endure, being constructed
OF the best material by skilled work
men; its design is scientific and
practical. The firelpot is guaranteed
to give service for five years; il it
cracks from ordinary causes in that
time, IL will be replaced with a new
one.
The Caloric is sold in this territory
by Schaeffer e Mowen, one of the
most enterprising and reliable firms
. in the town. Upwards of 500 Of these
furnaces have been installed in homes
in this. section, all which are giving
remarkable and universal satisfac-
\ ton. The affairs Of the firm have
been handled most efficiently by MIR.
Russell Mowen, as his associate, Mr.
Lloyd ID. Schaeffer, enlisted in the
army and has been over seas for the
past year. He has just returned and
