Esso Econoblue: THE NEW LITTLE FURNACE THAT CAN SAVE A LOT OF FUEL The new Esso Econoblue takes up only 3M- square feet of floor space. Yet it is designed for maximum tuel economy. This oil-fired, forced air system uses a better mixture of air and oil vapour for more complete combustion. And because the mixture is also recycled, you get more heat out# of every drop of oil. * If your old furnace works at 66 , percent efficiency, for example! Econoblue could reduce oil consumption by 20 percent. This means if you now use 750 gallons of fuel a year, Econoblue could save you 150 gallons. So, if your furnace has been showing signs of age lately, don't wait until it gives up altogether. CaM Harvey Partner Limit* ed.
