S ManV of the best minds have been working for years on jkhiB problem. For a 'number "of years larger plants, using great quanti ties of fuel - were being equipped with automatic stokers, highly ef ficient machines, which would develop over 25 .per cent more heat from agivi amounuof uel, but until recently ho such device hood of : $9,000,000 as compared with the actual payment by. them for the. year 1925 of $8,42500.

The fuel used in this burner must be basic, it must be stable in price and easily gotten anywhere, and perfectly safe to use. i v; For-several years, some of the best engineers in the country bave been .working quietly perfecting such a stoker. Some of the early stokers, built over ten years ago are still in successful operation. About; two years ago the stoker was perfected to such a degree that it was decided to go lnto quahiIfypTdducti6n with a nation wide distributing and service or ganization, able to - render the ut most service to stoker owners. The Iron Firfeman incorporates all of the essential qualities men tioned abovoL it uses low priced slack coal, which! Is plentiful and stable in price.., burns it automatically, cooking the roal and burning the gases t before the coal is actually burned.! thus giving smokeless combustion and saving about ,35 per cent! of the beat which is or dinarily wasted when fuel Is hand fired, and the smoke is allowed to escape unburned. i ' ' ! , 'Mac MARMONS MacDtieald Auifc6,LC.Qi NEW ROAD RUXSr DRAWN In its construction; only the highest class materials are used and the operation of "the machine is simplified to such a degree that any person with average intelli gence can operate it efficiently.
