This new book sweeps aside all these, and deals with oil heat as you would like to know it in your home, and nothing else. It digs out the truths about cost of operation, supply of oil, ‘clean- liness, dependability, and gives them to you so simply that all who read will quickly gain new understanding of oil heat. HEATING HOMES WITH OIL is not intended for the idle curious - but rather for those who are sick and tired of vexatious, uneven temperature. Who really want the comforts only oil heat can bring. No family that has experienced the dire effects of coal strikes, temperamental coal fires, or low gas pressure should go another day without knowing what oil heat means to health, to freedom from care, to solid comfort. You owe it to yourself and family to at least consider these facts. Just send the coupon shown below and the next mail will bring it to you.
