THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. (.. JANUARY 18, 1925—PART 1. Only one right way 0 heat homes No matter how cold it is outside, every Oil-O-Matic heated home is exactly the temperature desired 7 l NHE right way to heat with oil has been found. It has been proved for six winters. Now more than 20,000 owners know the satisfaction of this scientific way. Oil-O-Matic has given them a new conception of oil burners. Their homes are always exactly the temperature theyenjoy! Theynever have to give it a thought. It is entirely automatic. \ Proved for six years Over a period of six years Oil-O-Matic has suc- cessfully met every heating problem. It is quiet, odorless, clean and absolutely dependable. You will be interested to see this correctly built oil burner. Itis unlike any other device that heats with oil. Six years ago our engineers took up the study of oil. They found four vital facts that were being disregarded. These explained the difficulties oth- ers were having in trying to heat with oil. Then we designed an oil burner that would make use of these four natural laws. The result was Oil-O-Matic. The first oil burn- er to make cheap fuel oil a completely successful fuel for heating homes. For six winters now, Oil- O-Matic has met every demand in homes, large and small. When you buy an oil burner see that it agrees with these laws. If you follow them you cannot go wrong. The four famous laws The first law says that oil must be broken up into a fine mist. So fine, it will float like a fog. All other ways violate this law. After the oil is broken up, the second law demands that it be burned before it touches any- thing. Carbon and soot will surely result otherwise. So no plates, pots, chamber or any part of an oil burner should be inside your fur- nace or boiler. According to the third law, the amount of air that is mixed with the oil must be exact. Nat- urally this cannot be left to someone’s opening or closing a damper. The oil burner itself must supply the correct amount of air. The fourth law is just as important. Oil can- not burn perfectly without reflected heat. So un- less the firebox of vour heating plant is lined with brick, it is imposs ble to get perfect combustion. It is this way of burning oil that has made the use of fuel oil really successful for heating homes. It is the method found only in Qil-O-Matic. Note these exclusive features There are other features that make Oil-O-Matic different from any other device that heats homes ou can prové . this is the right way 1.

Oil burns best in reflected heat Oil-O-Matic dealers line the furnace with fire-brick to reflect heat back into the combustion zone. TRt No Part Inside the Firebox No plates, pots, pilot light or anything inside to burn out or replace, Works perfectly in any good heating plant Of course there’s no continuous pilot light. That is too wasteful of gas. It has no place on a mod- ern oil burner. Oil-O-Matic burns a cheap, low gravity oil in- stead of expensive kerosene and distillate. This gives you more heat units at a lower cost. See chart below for surprising facts on various grades of oil. So this perfected way, approved by leading combustion engineers, ends all doubt. Now no one need be without the comforts of oil heating. 0il-O-Matic can be installed in any good heat- ing plant. Steam, hot water, vapor, hot air. Easy terins —~Guaranteed The men who install and service your Qil-O-Matic are all trained men. Most of them are graduates of the Williams Institute of Heat Research. They have experience, facilities, organization and finan- cial responsibility. They are backed by the largest producers of automatic oil burners in the world. They will be glad to offer you terms if you want them. Get the facts now. See it demonstrated. Send the coupon for a copy of “New Facts About 0il Heating.” It will answer every question. After you read it you will never be content with any, ; other way of heating your home. } \ v WILLIAMS Special Notice T will be of interest to hun- dreds of Washingtonians to know that the heating plant ot the splendid new Washington Auditorium Has Been OIL-O-MATIC Equipped This is another instance where experts have placed their ap- proval on this progressive system of Oil Heating.

Huntsberry President Vice President Fagts About Oil This warning is issued by the Empire Refineries, Inc., one of the biggest in this country: “It is obvious that the supply of kerosene and lighter distillates will not long continue to be adequate. The system that depends solely on this grade of fuel cannot continue to function when there is no longer such fuel to behad. On theother hand, the heavier grades of oil will continue in abundance. It is well known that the heavier grades contain more heat units per gallor.” There are several grades of oil. The cheaper ones are best. They contain more heat units, as is shown below. Note that kerosene costs the most and gives the least heat. Oil-O-Matic burns any grade on this list, but the cheapest is recom- mended. Oil-O-Matic will instantly adjust itsclf to lightest or heaviest grades. Heat Units Grade of Oil | per gal.
