HOT BUST OIL BURNERS
Save Ys of Your Coal Bills
The Gas Flame Burner is a Wonder for Cook Stoves,
Heaters and Furnaces. Burns Air ! Saves You Fuel!
Barrels of Air to Pints of Oil !
Following are some of the leading features of this great
invention:
SIMPLICITY
So handy; turn the valve, touch a
minutes, breakfast readv. . Turn it off-
SAFETY
The use of the burner is absolutely safe, It uses solar,
distillate or gas oil, and, taking the same precautions in us
ing this burner as you would an ordinary gas stove, you ab
solutely eliminate any danger. . We more than comply with
all insurance regulations and city oil ordinances.
ECONOMY'
The value of every appliance is in the economy effected
by its use.
The value of oil as a fuel for domestic purposes has long
been appreciated. But not until the Gas Flame Burner was
perfected has its useful and economical use been assured.
We effect the saving by burning oil, and air which doesn't
cost a cent. For this burner burns S5 per cent air and 15
per cent oil.
UNIVERSAL APPLICATION
This burner can be installed in any cook stove or heater;
no cost for installing and stove is not injured in any way.
Anyone can operate it that can turn a valve and strike a
match. Used in a cook stove or range, the same fire that
cooks your meals will heat your hot water tank. This is one
of the reasons why this burner is so much to be preferred to
a gasoline or oil stove.
SOME OF THE BENEFITS
30 to 50 per cent saved over cost of coal and wood.
No heavy, dirty fuel to carry in, or ashes to carry out. No
poisonous vapors, as from city gas. A uniform, clean, bright
fire, as gentle or fierce as requirements demand.
GIVES SATISFACTION
To whom it may concern:
I wish to say that I have installed one 'of the Hot Blast
Oil Burners, and that it gives perfect satisfaction. The cost
of operating my stove is about one-fourth cheaper now than
when I used coal. Mrs. Maggie Zurn,
321 Yellowstone Ave.,
Alliance, Nebr.
