And Thus A Story

MY SUCK ana 1 were SCrOl11IlS,
taking it easy when the spring
air tasted of the coming summer.
We were, frankly, warm. We
went up H Street Northwest,
glanced in shop windows, looked
at the sun and sighed. My brow
was warm, my hat binding, and I
looked in a window to see how
hot it was. Imagine my surprise
to see an oil burner blazing in
the display furnace. And yet it
gave me an idea-next winter,
I was near the A B c Oil
Burner and Engineering Com
pany, 1922 H ST., so in I walked,
taking my stick with me. We
spoke to the president Of the
firm, Mr.. Thomas A. Walsh.
"HOw about an oil burner?"
He looked at me as if I
might be a little crazy. Maybe
I was. I know he wanted to say,
We'll, how about it." but he
didn't.
Instead he asked me questions
about furnaces and things, and
finally what I wanted. At last
I had it all settled, and became
the proud possessor of an oil
burner. But still, I was a little
puzzled and said:
"After all, there is only one
kind Of oil burner, isn't there?
Why did you have to know all
those data?"
There's a burner for every
purpose, every use, and every
type Of furnace, stove, or
heater. There are burners for
cooking, burners for heating
water, burners for individual
stoves that heat separate rooms,
separate burners for movable
radiators, as well as burners for
furnaces"
do you realize that ABC
Burners have been installed in
yachts for heating and cooking
purposes? / mean that. There
are several instances of such
installations, and all of them
have proved successful and sat
isfactOry not only to the owner,
but to us.
MANY OTHER USES
"A b c Burners have been in
stalled to heat the spring water
furnishing swimming pools so
that the bitter chill will be
taken off the water. They have
heated gasoline stations, thea.
terS, novels and mansions,
stores and farmhOuses where
central heating Is impossible
without serious and expensive
remOdeIing work.
"Oil burners are used in
chicken hatcherieS and in heat
ing high-cOne pottery and tile
and brick kilnS. ABB G Burners
have heated homes, apartments,
hotels, and office buildings
with complete satisfaction"
was a little amazed. I had
conceived Of no such extensive
fields of service for oil burners.
I said so.
"ABC Oil Burners are being
developed continuously to meet
new needs that arise, to i'm
prove on the burners already
furnishing the old needs. The
engineers on A b C Burners are
never idle.
They are striving toward an
ideal, toward making the users
of A b G Burners happier, and
their heating problems more
simple and effectual."
Buy in Off Season
Apparently it was true. I
glanced at an illustrated booklet
giving q short resume of A B C
Burners.
'Take It with yOu.'
I did, and as my stick and I
swung down the street we both
wondered why more people were
not buying oil burners in the
spring and in the summer when
they could be easily installed and
when-what appealed to me-
they were so much more mex
pensive than they had ever been
before. But then, I reasoned,
some people would never learn
that the time to buy is in the
off-season. Barnum was right,
and thaY never will learn,-R.J.W,

ATLAS TIRE HAS
GUARANTEE.

Complete STANDARD" service is
offered at Arthur "Otts' Dozen.

Gently said:
Few persons realize the many
advantages, true advantages, to
be gained from patrOnizing
STANDARD" service. For in
stance, take the "AtIaS" auto
mobile tire sold by the Stand
ard Oil Company.
"The Atlas tire is uncOnditiOn-
ally guaranteed for one year
against bIOwOutS, providing the
tire has not been abused from
misuse. This does not mean
hard use, but rather, say, when
some people drive one or two
miles on a flat tire and ruin
the side walls. If such q con-
ditiOn were seen to exist in the
blOwn-Out tire, naturally we
could not furnish you with a
new one.
1T is also guaranteed against
cuts by glass or rocks, abraSiOnS
and damage that might be done
in ordinary pleasure traffic over
any kind of road under any cOK-
ditiOns. These abrasiOns are
repaired by us free of charge.
"If an Atlas tire wears out
from excessive use in less than a
years time, a new tire is fur
nished for which the customer
pays only for those months in
which the tire was in use. A
hypothetical case would be, say,
you ran a tire 5000 miles in two
months, and that tire cost you
$6.O0 then you would pay for
the new tire, but twO-twelfthS Of
the original purchase price, or,
in this case, one dollar.
Furthermore, this written
with each Atlas tire purchased

is good in any Standard Scrv-
ice station in the entire country
