Gentlemen : While I have not been asked for a testimonial, I feel that my experience with a Caloric Pipeless Furnace might be useful and helpful to prospective purchasers, who may feel doubtful and skeptical about the effectiveness and success of these furnaces as I did prior to the time of giving mine a trial. I have had my Caloric installed about a month, during which time we have experienced considerable cold weather, the temperature having been as low as ten degrees below zero ; in fact, the mercury registers a few degrees below at this minute, but our house, which consists of seven l-ooms, five on the first floor and two on the second, has been at all times, and is at present warm and comfortable, and the furnace has not at any time been kept going at its full capacity. The fire has never been out in the furnace since it was installed, yet I find it is very economical in fuel consumption, consuming no more than an ordinary heater. I am thoroughly pleased with my Caloric, and have no hesitancy in recommending them to anyone doubting their efficiency. Yours very truly, D. R. PARKER. Do not wait until the next cold spell before installing your CALORIC, the winter is yet young. Caloric Pipeless Furnace Co. Phone Main 7r 1 314 Stark Street Portland, Oregon f 1
