You won't find me fussing around in my cold garage for fifteen to twenty minutes every morning applying hot cloths to my carburetor and manifold. The Hughes Heater is attached to your garage light socket and placed under the hood of your car. Keeps engine, carburetor and radiator warm on coldest nights at a cost of less than one cent an hour. It is the simplest, safest, and most economical heating device for motor cars in private garages. Simplest: Because it is attached and detached in a minute. Safest: Because it operates without flame tested and approved by the Underwriters' Laboratories of the National Board of Fire Underwriters. Most Economical: Because it delivers the heat only where it is needed under the hood of the car, saving the heavy expense of heating the whole garage. In addition to this; it saves the strain on the starting batteries and the wear on the bearings caused by the irregular flow of cold oil.
