What have you to offer?” These were the specifications laid down to us by the officers of the Security Building Company in their scarch for a periec cted oil burner. Hav- ing such fine homes under construction, thty must have an oil burner that is thoroughly up to the character and reputation of their work. And they selected the Quiet May. \Why? Because—after studying oil burners for gver six months, during which time they thoroughly m\(wu;“n(tl more than a dozen of the best burners on the market, they realized that the Quiet May is the one hurner that completely came up to their specifications. They bought sixteen. And see for yvourself. Motor over to the operation of the Security Building Company and see the Quiet May demonstrated in th sample house at 5124 Nebraska Ave. N.W.
