There ate Two Costs to a Furnace:

CaiEM COIOM I AL. FuflNACB
In a furnace purchase, a dollar may be a good
friend, or a false one. How you use that dollar, does
the deciding.
If you just spend it, without thought of the future,
you take chances. But when you invest your money,
the chance part is overcome.
That's just the way you should regard your fur
nace purchase. You should get highest investment
value. '
On an investment basis, make up your mind to
look into the satisfaction-insuring, comfort-bringing.
