Gentlemen: About a year ago a furnace was put into my house by a
so called "furnace man" and guaranteed to heat well nine or ten rooms.
It was a moBt unsatisfactory piece of work and -could not have heated
comfortably a five room cottage, and 1 sold the whole apparatus for Junk.
After making a thorough' trial of the' new wood furnace which you
have since installed in my house at S91 B. 21th St., this city, I want to
say to you that it is the best furnace I have ever seen in any house. A
fire in it Is very easy to start, and it consumes less fuel-than any fur
nace I have ever used. . : . .. ; , '' (''"''
It Is a pleasure both to pay a man for such a satisfactory piece of
work and to recommend this furnace to any one in search of a good
heating apparatus. Sincerely yours, T. M. WORl.
