Heats Your Entire Home With One Register
and without any complicated "system." The
Universal Pipeless Furnace placed in your
basement has just one register directly .
above the furnace with a downward opening
for cold air and an upward opening for
warm air.
Circulation
is the prime factor with the Universal As
bestos Insulated Pipeless Furnace. Immedi
ately after the fire is lighted the air from the
various parts of the house starts in motion.
The cold air is drawn to the furnace, through
the outer cold air chamber and over the hot
castings, returning heated and revitalized to
the rooms throughout the house.
The Universal Pipeless Furnace gives
a more even distribution of heat at a
much less fuel cost than other heating:
devices. It meets every requirement of
health, comfort and economy. It can be
easily installed in homes already built
as well as those under construction.
You are invited to investigate the merits
of this splendid heating appliance.
