A Colonial Furnace will Save its Cost to You in Fuel and Repairs If you don't own a furnace that gives you greatest economy, you arc always adding to the original pur chase price. On a business basis, that is poor practice. Don't argue that you must have heat anyway, "without respect to cost." The furnace that eats the most fuel, is least de pendable in heat. The more extravagant the upkeep, the less the satisfaction. Keep these points in mind when you investigate the Green COLONIAL Furnace r. 9 9 . 9 . .

Green's COLONIAL Furnace overcomes all these wastes, because every part of it is the result of long experience a real refinement in furnace design, materials, workmanship. How the fuel is consumed, the way the draft operates, the method in which the heat is extracted the certainty that you are not heating all out-doors cleanliness, convenience, warmth in every room, comfort and health for the family security against the coldest days, and the damp days, too:. All these things certainly should enter into your consideration of a furnace!
