The well known properties of Oil fuel—ease of handling, cleanliness and completeness of combustion, sus- ceptibility to automatic control—make it the superior fuel for heating the home, It has been the experience of thousangs of users that Oil gives greater heat for each dollar spent. It can be delivered at any time without notice, confusion or dust. The remarkable record of delivery service to home owners .is a tribute to the foresight, ingenuity and intelligent cooperation of Oil burner dealers, manufacturers and Oil refiners. Guards Your Health. Your family needs this uniform, automatically controlled heat—warmth that keeps May in the air all year ‘round. Houses that vary in temperature with the incalculable moods of a temperamental furnace—or furnace man—make unjust demands upon the health and vigor of their occupants, increasing their susceptibility to cold and disease germs. There is no better guardian of health than the thermostat that controls the even, perfect heat of the modern, automatic Qil heating machine. Eliminates W aste—Actually Costs Less to Operate This small, unobtrusive thermostat on your living-room wall becomes your furnace man. Operated by the temperature of the room, it builds your fire for you, instantly, whenever you wantit . . .dand k}c‘e;;‘s it go{:g asl.llong;and only asnlongg as it is needed. In the home that is heated automatically wi s = Oil, not so much as an ounce of fuel is consumed when the el house is warm enough. Thus does automatic Oil Heat Saks—Third Floor guard your pocketbook as well as your health, & And Oil Heat is dependable—as only an electrically con- trolled system could be.
