Two ways to reduce fuel costs.
The HS Tarn Type OT is a modern, efficient
multi fuel boiler for central hot water heating
systems It’s a unit which allows you to use
low-cost wood in addition to electricity and oil
or gas as your source of heat When fueled
with wood, it warms your home and provides
plenty of hot tap water as well Should the
wood fire go untended, automatic controls
will switch to another fuel, and the boiler will
continue to supply all your heating and hot
water needs
The Tasso A-3 is a cast iron wood burning
boiler made to work in combination with ex
isting oil- or gas-fired hot water heating
systems to give you mult, fuel economy Used
with your present boiler, it allows you to heat
your whole house with wood all the time, or
merely supplement your present fuel by burn
ing wood Like the HS boiler, the Tasso A 3of

no means had an exclusive
handle on the shopping
crowds. A number of
politicians participated m
