Is In an age when nearly everyone takes a bath evi day, and many take two, it hardly seems possible that 80 years ago when our great- grandfathers were starting in busi- nes: bathtub was looked upon as unsanitary, unhea!thful and almost a form of heresy. It was in 1842 that a man named Adam Thompson | bathtub in his home in Cincinnati, and physicians immed'ate'y attacked it as « detriment to health.

Not until President Fillmore stalled a tub 0 White House in 1850 was p opinion over and the prejudice against bathing be:| gan to wane. Thompson's first tub was filled by @ supply tank in the attio of his home, to which water was pumped By negroes from a well in the back yard. But the water was cold, and he got the (dea of running the pipe @own the chimney so that the hent of the fire would warm {t. That was a tuxury indeed, for the cold plunge took nerve. Everybody couldn't arrange to heat their water, so « teakettle or a dish yan on the kitchen range was used to take the chill off the bathing. ‘Then someone got the idea to have & “‘water-back” in the kitchen range. Here the water was heated and de- posited ina boiler. But this was only ood when the fire was well kept. ‘When banked for the night the wa ter was not heated. It took some time to reheat it after the supply was exhausted, rendering more than ene bath a night impossible.

The storage type is really a hot water system based on the {dea of the familiar kitchen range boiler. It consists of a tank, heavily insulated with mineral wool, asbestos or cork and a copper cofl water heater equip- ped with a pilot Nght and automatic control, When the temperature of the water drops below the predeter- mined degres, the gas goes on aut: matically and becomes ignited from the pilot light. It shuts off when the desired temperature is again reached. The instantaneous automatic gas water heater is cylindrical in shape. The she!l (s constructed of cast iron, insulated. The coll, made of seamless drawn copper wound in double cone shape, is over a batter of Bunsen burners. Hundreds of thousands of these automatic gas heaters, made in dif: ferent sizes and shapes, have been installed in the past 20 years since they were perfected. People who know them are demanding them in their new houses, and the result is that the word “hot” on the faucet formerly a joke, ‘s now a reality.
