WARM AIR HEAT ADAPTABLE TO ANY SIZE HOME Moist Warm Air is Required to Heat Any House Satisfactorily FURNACES EASILY TAKEN CARE OF There is no necessity, in this | modern age ( to tolerate a home heating system that does hot give J complete satisfaction. The sole purpose of a home heating system I is to provide warmth and comfort, and that should be your sole I thought in selecting a system. If you choose wisely and install the system which gives tlie maximum! of comfort, you will find that you 1 have also chosen the most economical one. In heating systems, more than anything else in tlie home, quality means economy and comfort Before taking up in detail the 1 merits of warm air. permit us to say that the warm air system is adaptalde to any type of home regardless of size. More homes are j being heated by warm air today than by all other types of systems combined And a constantly in- ' creasing proportion of these homes ' are of the very large “mansion" ' type. There are no limitaitons to warm air as a home heating system. In fact, modern heating engineers are specifying warm air as the solution of their most difficult problems. Bear in mind that the success of Warm a'r, as of any other system, depends in a great measure on proper, scientific installation, which includes intelligent construction or preparation of tlie building which •is to lie heated. While the advant--1 ages of warm air as they are set i forth in this article may perhaps •sound overdrawn if applied to

It was service and a willingness . to serve tlie public which made possible MAshbaucher’s steady, and healthy business growth in tills: community. He at all times endeavored to give satisfactory ser-' vice, keep appointments and had the natural knack of seeing tlie f tiling done right, much to tlie sati isfactlon and pleasure of his , client.
