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

Stoking in fuel and shoveling out ashes, is a thankless, costly job.
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!
You wouldn't buy a gold bond or a first mortgage on a printed announcement,
and we don't expect you to buy a Green COLONIAL "Furnace on what we say in this
advertisement. , t ,
But we do believe that you will investigate the Green COLONIAL Furnace.
Study its many merit-points; it has no other!

son of tho war, Union Pacific officials
havo caused to bo complied figures
for Uio first flvo monUis of 1917, show
ing Uio increased expenses ns com
pared with tho corresponding period
of 191G.
In order to keop locomotives mov

-811.9G4 tons of coal in tho handling of

handling of Its possengor trains. This
coal cost on on avorago of $2.09 a

tho same monUis of last year.
In tho mattor of coal a!ono it is
figured Uint Uio war lias added to
tho cost of oporation -$722,799.38 up
to Juno 1 this year.
Taking tho cost of coal, repairs on
locolrotlves, lubricating oil ond loco
motive supplies and Uie pay of engine
