Either there is too much heat or too little, and you shiver while waiting for it to warm up, and then swrelter after the need for heat has passed. With the Clow Gasteam Heating Systems, this is not the case—you have steam heat when and where you want it. All you do is tumn a valve and light. You have a full head of steam within half an hour. Many people who appreciate the comfort of steam heat have not adopted it hitherto because of expense and attention that some steam heating plants involve. . An economical system You light as many or as few Clow Gasteam Radia- tars-as you need, and oaly as you need them. They burmn gas—the econamical fuel—and an Automatic Regulator controls the flow to the burners so that the steam pressure is always constant, regardless of out- side temperatures. The heat will be ample for ‘the coldest days. Clow Gasteam Radiators have been approved by twenty years of continnous use in every sort of struc- ture, many of them in this vicinity. They look like any other radiator except that they are possibly more handsome in appearance.
