heater may be used as a cooking
stove, and operated at a very mod

the manufacture of these heaters in
1910, and without any statesmen
have kept our plant operating to
capacity. Satisfied customers have
sent us all the new trade we could
care for in our present space. and
we plan to build a small factory in
the near future and use our pres:
ent space as an office"
The Smock heater may be used
in a variety of ways. depending
upon the needs Of the buyer. The
water heater is equipped with brass
coils for heating the water rapidly,
but the house heater operates with
large steel tank filled with water
that is warmed over a small fire. II
pipes are used through the house
this heater may be placed in the
basement. where 1t occupies very
small space, but in houses. where
there Is no basement the heater is
placed in the kitchen and the top
surface serves as a stove. while the
body radiates an even varmth from
the hot water 1t contai Is.
1t is not even necessary to have
running water in the house in order
to use this heater. for after the
tank is once filled 1t needs only an
occasional dipper full of water
added to replace that which
evaporates.
