Comfort and Economy U:
(i-. ff
The Wilson responds so accurately f
and unfailingly to its dampers that when
the room is once warmed, by opening the draft
wide you can set the dampers and maintain S
an absolutely even and healthful temperature. 1
With a WILSON WOOD HEATER
it is just as comfortable in the farthest comer
of the room as it is within a few feet of the heater.
This means health and comfort. i'
The patent Hot Blast Down-Draft, found
only in the Wilson, consumes every particle of
burnable elements in the wood, thus giving
greater heat with one-half the fuel.
