Joseph B. Murphy, just elected
president of the Furnace Vacuum
Cleaning Service, Inc, reports
that the organization, formed two
years ago by the fuel dealers of
Washington to cooperate with
consumers in obtaining the best
results from the use of coal, is
succeeding.
He said the movement, which
originated here, is being copied
in all parts of the country where
coal is burned. Dealers, he said,
have accepted the service as a
part of their merchandising pro-
gram.
The service was incorporated
after surveys disclosed that a
large percentage of consumers
complaints were occasioned by
dirty furnaces. A special vacuum
cleaning machine was devised
and is used by the service for
the fuel companies.
