PIPELESS - FURNACES
Those of you who have vi sited or lived in the north
know that the majority of the homes are heated
by warm furnaces. The PIPELESS FURNACE
is the simplest and most efficient of warm
air furnaces. They warm three times as much air
as the victrola style heaters. See both kinds in
our show windows.
