Mail the Coupon Now. PETRO IS THE OLDEST low- pressure oil ‘burner, For 25 years its development has been my chief aim in life. Now its outstanding superior- ity for heating large buildings is com- monly acknowledged. Its success led us to design a smaller unit for homes. FIVE YEARS AGO the first resi- dence PETRO was installed in the home of Cyrus Field Judson. Altho we considered it better than the best oil burner then being sold, no public mention of it was made. Our engi- *neers insisted upon more history. For four years complete records of each installation were carefully kept. YOU WILL LEARN what we have learned. That once a Petro goes in, it stays in, with overwhelming satisfaction. YOU WILL SEE how oil heating has been simplified by PETRO engi- neers. By making air do the work of expensive gears, belts and shafts, they have achieved astounding results. Not only does air do it better, more efficiently, more quietly, but air costs nothing and never wears out! WITH PETRO, the entire range - of residence oils is available to you. Heavy or light. Thick or thin. But most important are the savings that come to you from the use of Fuel Oil. - MAURIC Thislowpriced fuel gives you the most heat for the least cost. PETRO isso . efficient that its cost of heating is com- monlv less than the cost of hard coal. NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN ABLE to anticipate the advantages of PETRO Oil Heat. Nor can any- one describe it to you. You cannot experience it in anyone’s else home. So your PETRO dealer gives you this assurance. If PETRO fails to. heat your house satisfactorily, he will remove it and refund your money. This generous offer is not based on generosity. But on § years’ perfect record resulting from 25 years’ re- search and success in oil heating. If we were not positive of your complete satisfaction, we would not continue a day .. longer in the oil burner business. Board of Directors W. C. McTARNAHAN President Petroleum Heat & Power Co.
