Ave. we've investigated Now we offer you this automatic, proven burner— a product of one of the oldest and largest companies in the business—and the one oil burner that satisfied our requirements IVE years ago we recognized oil burning as the modern method of home heating. We began to in- vestigate many of the oil burners on the market. We watched various burners in operation; we studied their construction; we inquired about the companies that produced them. Many of the burners that we in- vestigated were good machines. Prac- tically all of them were far superior to old heating methods. But none of these burners quite satisfied the standard we had set. At last we saw a Petro in oper- ation. We studied its construction; we talked to home owners who had installed it; we met the men who manufactured it. Then we were con- vinced. We knew that we’d found a really proved oil burner—a burner we could be proud to sell. ‘When you see the Petro you will know why we have chosen this re- markable burner. Oncl you have watched it in operation, listened to it, seen what it can do, you will understand the enthusiasm of the hundreds of home owners who have * installed the Petro in their homes. Convenient as electric light The Petro is as safe and convenient as electric light. It is quiet, odorless, entirely automatic. Set your ther- mostat at the desired temperature— then forget it. Through the coldest winter blizzards, every room in your house will receive even, controiled heat. You will find Petro controlled heat inexpensive, too. The amazing efficiency of the Petro allows this burner to burn the cheapest oil fuel suitable for the home. This oil is of a grade which pro- ETR( RESIDENCE OIL BURNER oA product of PETROLEUM HEAT'AND POWER COMPANY (Makers of oil burners since 1903) ind listed tandard the Underwriters e ored by (ke 5.,"3.4 of Standards and the Department Laboratories. 4, Appeals, New York City.

The Company back of the Petro Burner One of the reasons why we chose to sell the Petro—and one of the most convincing reasons why you should buy one—is the experience of its manufacturers. For a quarter of a century the Petroleum Heat and Power Company has manufactured oil burners, studied them, in- stalled them. Today thou- sands of Petroleum Heat and Power Company burners are heating hotels, schools, great office buildings, industrial plants in New England and in the other eastern states. The Petro Burner is listed asstandard by Under- writers’ Laboratories.
