Watseka Company Demonstrating Oil Burner in Rensselaer.

J. J., Casey, of Watseka, 111., is here this week for the purpose of demonstrating to the citizens of our city, an oil burner which is manufactured by the Peoples’ Specialty Co., of Watseka. The company is incorporated for SIO,OOO and is backed by some of the most influential businessmen of Watseka. Although a Jroung company, it is growing rapidy and all that have purchased these burners so far have been very well pleased with them. Mr. Casey will be in the city for ten days or more and will make the demonstrations in the building next to the fire department building. The demonstration is free and Mr., Casey invites the public to come in and inspect and test the burner. The demonstration is free. The company wants to get the burner before the people and show its advantages. Mr. Casey States emphatically that he is not here for the purpost of selling stock, his sole desire being to get the burners placed throughout the county. This done, Mr. Casey asserts that the burners will sell themselves. Mr. Casey just came from Morocco, where he has been for the past ten days. During his stay there he installed a number of the burners and in every case they are giving satisfaction. During Mr. Casey’s stay in our city he will invite the members of the Fuel Committee of the county to investigate the burners and feels sure that they will find the burner all that he claims it to be. Every housewife in Jasper county should call at the headquarters of the company and see this wonderful little neater. Some time ago burners were sold here which did not give satisfaction in very many cases, but there is no comparison between the burner which was sold here some time ago and the one the Watseka company is demonstrating. The oil tank is attached to the stove on the outside. The oil is drained from the tank by a small pipe which leads down to a larger piper to the burner. It is easy to operate and Mr. Casey asserts that the average cost of operating the burner is between $3.90 and $4.00 per month. With coal at the present price it is easy to see that a considerable saving can be shaved off of the fuel bill each month. There is no dust or dirt and the labor of building a fire is done away with. The oil flow is easy to regulate and a nice, steady heat can be maintained with the flow as low as sixty drops to a minute. Almost any heat desired can be attained The oven heat can be kept at any temperature desired for baking and the cares of a housewife vanish,ifollowing the installation of one of these burners. Mr. Casey will be here for ten days demonstrating and selling the burners. He will install them free of charge. Call at his headquarters and see this wonderful little invention at any time. You are welcome. —ADV.
