The Fuel That
Goes Up the Flue
Fully fifty per cent, of the fuel consumed by
the average stove is absolutely wasted because of
imperfect combustion that permits unburned gas
to escape into the chimney.
This source of continual and expen
sive fuel extravagance is entirely pre
vented by the Wilson Hot Blast Heater.
Its scientific construction enables the
"Wilson to convert every particle of the
fuel into heat. There is no waste. The
WILSON
Hot Blast
HEATER
alone possesses the wonderful patent
Hot Blast Down Draft. This down
draft becomes heated to such an extent
that it turns into heat all the gases
generated in the combustion of the fuel.
In this lies the secret of the great economy of the Wilson—the secret
of the maximum of heat at the minimum of fuel consumption, and that's
why everybody who uses a stove should have the Wilson Heater. Made
in different styles for soft coal and also for wood. The picture shows
the soft coal heater.
If your dealer does not sell Wilson Hot Blast Heaters, write us. We
Will tell you where to get them and send you a book on house heating free.
