It is easily installed at small expense, for it can be put into any home without tearing up the waifs. I It heats the whole house from one regis ter. The warm air rising circulates through all the rooms and the cold air drops into the furnace for reheating, thus pro viding perfect ventilation. It is cleaner, safer and handier than a stove, lessening the danger of fire and sav ing labor and fuel. The Keystone is made to give a lifetime o satisfaction. Keystone Supply & Mfg.
