If you have any thoughts about
heating your home after the war
with one of those new fangled midg
et furnaces you may have been
hearing rumors about, you’d better
change your ideas. For you can
take the word of the largest firm
in the .home heating business that
except for making things nicer, th*
! heating units of postwar reality
1 will be pretty much the same as
I before.
, There’s a lot of talk about th*
» wonderful developments in stor
[ for us, but for the most part n
\ conies, from those who are not now
1 engaged in the heatinglbusiness. It
I makes an interesting subject, but
. one should take it in the same way
• as one would view an announce
| ment by the leading furnace maker
! that they have plans under way to
• bring out a revolutionary col
: lapsible fifty-pound automobile that
1 one can fold up and carry in the
i* house, thus dispensing with the
S’ need for a garage.
\ i Those who know all the angles of
i* home heating are not letting them
I1 selves get out on a lifnb by prom
ising anything radically new. Prac
ticality is still the first rule in both
making and buying a heating sys
tem, and that is tne one qualifica-!
tion most lacking in all the devices
►! of revolutionary design which are
► > being publicized for postwar use.
