PERFECT INDOOR COMFORT
CEICRERDTHIIRGE NS SR DR B RSYA S(I QO DA R
Three essentials to keep in mind when you buy a heating plant for
your home or your building are: First—Health. Second—Comfort. Third
-Cost. You are assured of a healthful home, comfortably heated at a
minimum cost, when you buy a Moncrief Furnace.
The health feature of house heating is of the greatest importance, for
the health of a family depends to a great extent upon how a home is
heated and ventilated. Moncrief Furnaces force clean, pure air into every
room in a house. The air is automatically changed from three to five times
every hour by our system. Thus are the members of your family safe
guarded against breathing vitiated, impure, worn-out air—one of the prin
cipal causes of colds and other sickness.
Moncrief Furnaces are heaters that heat. They distribute pure, warm
air evenly and regularly all over the house, insuring perfect indoor com
fort, no matter what the weather outside may be.
Upkeep—not installation cost—regulates the economy of a heating
plant. Moncrief Furnaces not only cost less to install, but they cost less to
operate. Your coal bill is smaller when you have a Moncrief Furnace in
the basement. As a part of Moncrief Service, we give you careful instruc
tion on how to operate your furnace so as to reduce fuel cost and at the
same time maintain an even, uniform, healthful, comfortable tempera
ture in every room of your home.
500 Moncrief F
7,500 Moncrief Furnaces
Are Now in Daily U
Thousands of homes, from modest bungalows to palatial residences,
all over the South, are equipped with Moncrief Furnaces. In Atlanta
alone there are 5,000 Moncrief heating plants giving perfect satisfaction.
Every owner of a Moncrief Furnace is not only satisfied with it, but he is
also ready to indorse his heater so as to have his friends and neighbors in
stall one, insuring them the same indoor comfort that he has.
Moncrief Furnaces are simple, durable, economical, cleanly, and give
perfect satisfaction. They are made of cast iron with the Special Moncrief
Duplex Grate, a large radiating surface, a double fire pot and a top return
flue. They are built to last a lifetime.
We are now prepared to install a furnace in your home. With our
work goes our written guarantee that a Moncrief Heating Plant will give
perfect satisfaction and insure perfect indoor comfort. We are not satis
fled to install a furnace and forget it. We want YOU satisfled. That's
why we give time and thought to instructing you on exactly how to op
erate your heating plant to get a maximum of efficiency at a minimum of
cost.
Better not delay another minute. Prepare today for the cold weather
of tomorrow. Write or wire us, or get us on the telephone. Plans and
prices will be cheerfully and quickly given, no matter where you are lo
cated.
Does your old furnace need fixing? Do the pipes need
attention? Let us go over your heating plant and find out
exactly what's wrong. It makes no difference what make of
furnace you own, we can put it in perfect working order for
the winter.
