Ask any of the many users of “Sol-Hot” Brooder equipment about their experience last season with their “Sol-Hot.” They will invariably tell you that; they have never seen or used anything to equal it in its simplicity, dependability and economy of opera tion. But great as has been the success and outstanding leadership in popularity in past seasons, the 1924 “Sol-Hot” models have anything ever put out befora backed off the boards. * Just a few of the many improvements you will find in no other brooder: The new style canopy is built as strong as a house; the new large-size fire proof metal oil container has removed all fire haz- zards, which alone will make the public prefer the “Sol-Hot;” positive automatic oil control; reduced oil consumption; increased heat production; more chick capacity; diaphragm fresh-air circulating hover systeni, and many other new features too nu merous to mention.
