Their Water, Our Patrons Burn Theirs, Heating and State: " After giving your Combined Garbage Crematory and Water Heater a test of three months, it has more than met my expectations. It consumes all of our garbage and wasle paper of about ten barrels daily, without the slightest odor, keeping tbe water hot with no additional fuel and requires no attention," "Replying to your enquiry as to the amount of coal I burn in my garbage crematory, will say that I consume about two tons per month (not exceeding that), which consumes the garbage and heats the water for 33 flats. I have 33 bath tubs in my butlding and at no time have I been without an abundance of hot water for all purposes, including the laundry " I wish to say that I consider it one of the best investments I have made, for il takes less coal to heat the water and burn the garbage, both, than it takes to run a heater just to heat water. Theu there is nothing in the way of garbage or dirt around my building to smell and draw rats. There is no smell whatever frorn burning and it requires attention but twice a day, morning and evening." For catalogue and information apply to W, T.
