Sadive a fo « Automatic HEAT The summer days are almost gone; almost before we know it the furnace will have to be stoked up in order to have a temperature in which people can live in comfort. With the old method of operating the furnace by hand, temperatures up sometimes to an uncom- fortable heat, then down to be uncomfortably cold. This can be eliminated by installing: an AUTO- MATIC DAMPER CONTROL. This is not ex- pensive to install, takes the worry of. looking after the damper off your mind, besides giving an even heat, day and night, in the bitter cold, or the moderate warm days of winter.
