HO R LICK'S RACINE, -WISCONSIN RIVETS MAKE THE TANK-CAR OIL-TIGHT --.Toii'iiiD- Zone; Steel - Furnace is fjiss-'iiflltt- and ' dnst-tiyht sbceaEBS St is riveted Warm nir, Hie clioioc of (ill real authorities on lieulthful lienting, reaches perfection through the Torrid Zone. The special con struction of this longer-lasting furnace in sures clean, warm air, at all times free from fumes and brighter and happier home. For just as the tank-car is made leak- proof by hot-riveting ami cold-calking ... so the steel Torrid Zone is made gas, smoke and dust-tight. That means no gas-tainted air when the furnace is freshly fueled or hanked for the night. No dust or smoke from the registers following a shakedown. Even the cellar or furnace room will be cleaner than you ever thought it could be, because of the unusually snug firing and ash doors. Every part of the Torrid Zone is at tight a a drum. ' Two other essentials to health and comfort humidity and ventilation obtainable only with warm air systems, are a part of the Torrid Zone. The humidifier has twice the evaporating area imide the casing of ordinary water pans, and it is positioned for rapid evaporation. Air circulation is guaranteed when an authorized Lennox Furnace niun installs according to the Standard Code. Lennox Torrid Zone FititVAn for soft ixi.il with outer canlriK removed, showing riveted con struction.

I1) Tlie speclully di'sttfne.1 ruel-s:iv,iift lire-pot with locomo tive grates and pi her features. You can see why this furnace Is guaranteed for 10 years and why its Hveruge life, based on the service record of thou&inds of Torrid ones, Is 21 yeura. Tlie efficiency of a Torrid Zone magnifies your coal pile. Oversized heating surface causes Torrid Zone furnaces to produce from lO0 to 20 more heat from the fuel than oilier furnaces, hence they will heat with less fuel than other furnaces will consume. Models for soft coal, coke, hard coal, lignite, wood, gas or oil. , , :. . . Come in and see why the Torrid Zone is the most desirable furnace that heating science has yet devised.
