Price has ceased to be a prohibiting factor. Working with the advantages of long and successful experience, KLEEN-HEET's makers have designed and engineered a small-home model—at price lower than any hitherto possible for automatic oil burning equipment. In a home of from 4 to 7 or 8 rooms it provides heat as luxuriously modern as any mansion can have. It is beautifully simple, with all the quiet efficiency, cleanliness and economy which have built KLEen-HEET'S long record of honest success. WE realize that those who still persist in thinking oil heat an experiment will not be particularly interested. This is nof address- ed to them—but to the people in moderale cir- cumslances who have wailed for the time when price would no longer bar them from having this modern comfort, along with the others they en- Jjoy. Certainly that time has come, today.

Its purpose is not to reduce heating costs—although a good burner will not increase them. It will certainly not operate forever and ever without attention; nothing made by man will do that. But it will require very little attention as compared with coal heat. There are other good automatic burners be- side KLeen-HEET—and you should investigate all, comparing what you learn about each. It is simply a question of whether or not you want modern comfort and convenience in your home, for your family. v Note: We want a few able, inlelligent salesmen.
