Gentlemen: ‘ Referring to the Ra-Do Héaters which you installed in my home some two years ago, will say that they have given entire satisfaction. I consider the Ra-Do Heaters the ideal heating system, for we can have just the right amount of heat just when we want it. Furthermore the low cost of installation and operation, the absence of all odors and moisture show that the Ra-Do Heater is in a clagr by itself. It has been my experience with other gas heaters, that they waste a considerable amount of heat. This is lost through their system of ventilation, which by the way, is an expensive one to maintain. I have recommended your system to many of my frienis . and will be glad to have any prospective purchaser referred to me. + Yours very truly, D. S. CAHEN. GILLETTE, Wyo. Aug.
