Oil
Burner Here

Herman Mueller has installed an
oil burner in his garage on Fifth
avenue Steam from the boiler not
only supplies the garage with heat
but warns the residence near by. For
some time inventors have been work
ing to perfect the oil burners and now
have an apparatus that will consume
any kind of liquid oil.
Other fine featuJ es are that all OF
the oil is consumed and the machine
is automatic, regulating itself accord
ing to the temperature. The fire can
be turned on and heat will be proVid-
ed. all winter if oil is kept in the
tank. The cost of the oil is said to
be about the same as soft coal, $500
hundred gallons for oil or $500
ton for soft coal. The furnace is cleaL
the house is always warm, there are
no ashes, and the cost of operating is
about the same To install an Oil
