REAL ESTATE. Nowls Ideal Time To Repair or Replace Home Heating Plant New Steel Boiler Has Many Advantages For Small House By LAWRENCE CROLIUS. If you have suffered through a fong. hard winter with an anti- quated house-heating boiler, you are probably greeting spring with shouts of joy. With the memory of those horrible nights still bright in your mind when the old grate burned out and left you heatless. on the coldestnight of the year, or a fatal leak suddenly came from nowhere, you more than likely find it diffi- cult to even look at the cellar door without a series of shudders. But before you settle into the smug complacency that comes with warm weather why don’t you do something about the troublemaker in your basement? You know this is the smart time of year to have your heating man put the system into firsi-class working order be- cause the rush of trouble calls and other business has been lifted from his shoulders by now and he can do the best possible job for you now at the most reasonaile price. Then when fall comes you will be all set to go and won't have to make frantic calls for help along with many others. If you get around to doing any- thing about this important bit of prevention, be sure to have a look at a new steel boiler which is now available for installation in even the most moderate-priced homes.
