A 'Strenuou
Objection^
If your coal dealer de
livered only three-quar
ters of a ton of coal
and charged you for a
full ton, you would ob
ject—and refuse "to pay
the bill. The same
principle applies in
the fuel consumption
of a heater—why use a
heater that wastes ore- t
quarter of your
fuel?
Great Western OaK
consumes all carbon and. gases—none es
capes up chimney. Scientific flue system
discharges heated air through slotted open
ings right over fire-, and through mica door
you can clearly see the shooting flames —
representing tne burning gases. In actual
use, youcan feel the increased heat ——
and decreased amount of coal used Be
convinced by an inspection.
