Health. comfort and Economu
Can be had by using a Peninsular Furnace,
Health, because the Peninsular system of ventilation
is nearly perfect.
Comfort, because your house can be comfortably heated
in the coldest weather and can be controlled at will in
warm days.
Economy, because Peninsulars arc so constructed as to
take less fuel than any furnace made. The extra square
feet of radiation is accountable for this.
Economy, because they arc almost indestructible; no
repairs arc needed.
We want you to see this furnace and get our estimates
