WiH Oil or Gas Compete
 With Coal in Furnaces
 As More Economical Fuel?
Dealers Interviewed Use of Various FuesOnly Few Hours Required to Convert Coal Furnace
 to Use of Oil or Gas

Strikes and transportation troubles are causing such a shortage of coal that many people in Birmingham are turning toward the use of oil and gas as fuel for furnaces and heaters This fact is evident from the large number of per sons who are requesting the furnace and radiator companies to convert their coal furnaces so as to permit the use of gas or oil.
 "The conversion of a coal furnace into a oil burner is a simple matter" said Hayden Myer. sales engineer of the American Radiator Company. Accord ing to MT. Myer, it is only necessary to remove the grate from the coal furnace and, install the oil burner on a suitable foundation. The cost of installation is reasonable and cen be done in a few hours.
 Gas or oil furnaces do away with all smoke, soot, ashes and other objection abel features of coal" continued MT, Myer. Less attention is required to keep up a steady supply of heat and tho labor bill can be decreased. Tho simplicity of the gas or oil equipment makes for efficiency and lCng life" "
