That Cold Room on the side of the house where winter blasts strike hardest always has a lower temperature than tne rest of the house. There are times when it ls necessary to raise the temperature quickly or to keep the temperature up for a long period. That can't be done by the regular method of heating without great trouble and overheating the rest of the house. The only reliable method of heating such a room alone by other means is to use a 'ERFECTIOl Smokeless ___IL HEATtU Absolutely smokekss and odorltss which can be kept at full or low heat for a short or long time.
