INTERESTED IN
PRODUCTS BROOKS
BURNER COMPANY

The old saying that if you have an
article of merit to sell, the public will
make beaten track to your door
was never more forcibly demouotra-
ted than it was this morning. when
Wilson Newman, manager of the
Brooks Burner Company received a
letter from a large importing firm OF
London, England. asking for prices
on stoves and heaters and all infor-
nation concerning them f. o. b.
Ardmore, for their houses in London
and in New Zealand.
In their communication the firm
stated that the stove had been recon-
mended to them through the Ameri-
can Embassy al London, as the best
gas burner made, and acting upon
that advice they are anxious to secure
the agency for England and her insu-
lar possessions.
Mr. Newman stated that the shop
was operated to capacity at present
and in all probability enlargements
would be made TO increase the out
put.
The demand for Brooks burners Is
in excess of the supply. but the COM
pany will not hesitate to enlarge the
plant to keep up with the growing
business If it becomes necessary.
