With this type Of fan installation, a
large measure of cooling can be obtained
in the evening in apartment buildings,
stores, restaurants and offices, as we'll as
in the home. The use Of fan is an
ideal compromise between air condition
ing and no cooling at al. The cost of
attic fans ranges from $50, depending
upon the size and model of fan, the type
of building in which it is used, etc. The
cost of operation is about cents day
for fan Of average size.

warm air is drawn up from the lower
floors through stairways and ceiling
vent, to the attic, where it is discharged
out-of- doors by means of dormer win
dows, louvres or other openings. A
pleasant movement of air is set up
through the house-the fan produces
complete change of air every one or two
minutes. The amount Of cooling achieved
will surprise you. Even when there is
not breath of air stirring outside, you
can often cool your house TO IA
degrees by this method. Bedrooms
become comfortable a.. you can retire
for nights rest and relaxation. User,
say--"It's like sleeping outdoors"

We invite YOU to talk over this type
of cooling with our engineers. They will
advise you without charge or obligation,
and if you wish, put you in touch with
reputable dealers who can give you in
formation about different makes of fans.
(THE DETROIT EDISON COM
PANY DOES NOT SELL OR IN
STALL ANY OF THIS EQUIPMENT.)
Our engineers will discuss the whole
cooling problem as it is fitted to your
particular needs, give you approximate
cost figures, and advise you impartially
as TO the equipment best suited to your
individual case. This is part of our
service.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:

During the day, the hot sun beating
down on your house builds up attic
temperatures to 100 degrees or more.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-08-06

The principle on which it operates is
very simple. During the daytime, the
hot summer sun beats down mereilessly,
pouring heat into the house and con-
vertins the attic into huge oven.
Everyone is familiar with the willing
effect of forced trip to the attic on
hot summer day. The temperature under
the roof reaches $50 degrees, and
much of this heat is transferred through
the ceilings TO the rooms below.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-08-06

Cool night air is drawn in through the
bedroom and lower windows OF the
house, sweeping through all the rooms
and setting up a gentle, cooling cir.
culation.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-08-06

All day, the house continues to absorb
heat. After shutdown, the outdoor tenn
perature falls considerably. Outdoors
it is quite comfortable. But the house
gives off its accumulated heat very
slowly. The blanket of heat in the
attic hangs inert and stagnant, and the
rooms below arc sweltering under this
burden Of hot air. Often it is four
o'clock in the morning before the stufy
rooms cool off enough to sleep in.

An attic fan changes all this, In the
cool of evening, snap the switch of the
fan and open the lower-Aoor windows.
You will notice the difference almost
Immediately. AS the oppressive blanket
of heat in the sun-scorohed attic is drawn
off, a gentle circulation of air is started
throughout the house, pulling in food
of cooler outside air through the win
dows, and blowing away the heat that
has hung in the rooms all day. The
