The farm federation representative had previously testified his organiza- tions favored the Cyanamid company’s bid.

He testified he had collected $36.100 from the Union Carbide for his association and had deposited it temporarily in his personal broker- age account.

Furnace. The special oil-burning model saves even more, and is recommended by all oil burner manufacturers. Design as much as construction | is responsible for this economy. The steel plate, which is hot-riveted and | cold-calked to prevent leaking of gas, smoke, or dust, conducts heat more quickly than cast iron and is more durable. But it is the efficient design of the fire-pot and radiator which gets more heat from fuel. The deep fire-pot insures better combustion. The oversized radiator makes the gases and smoke cscap- | ing from the fire-pot travel from | 15 to 20 feet before going up the chimney—squeezing from them every last possible bit of heat. There are seventy-nine different Torrid Zone types and sizes for | heating eve i vpe and | size of building—and they burn | and save hard coal, soft coal, coke, | lignite, wood, gas or oil.
