An Innovation in Oil Heaters
... The Perfection Smokeless Oil Heater, with it
drums enameled in turquoise, is an ornament to any
room, whether in the country or city home.
No home is quite complete without a Perfection Oil
Heater. It it a necessity in the fall and spring, when it is too
warm to start the regular heating apparatus, and too cool to be
without heat In the midst oi winter it is often convenient as
an auxiliary heater, as there are always some cold corners
in house.
Tha enameled heater always presents a nice appearance, at the
enamel will not tarnish or bum off. It is not an "enamel paint," but it
is the same as the enamel of your cooking utensil.
Tha Perfection is the most reliable and convenient portable heating
device you can find. An automatically-loclung flame spreader prevents
turning the wick high enough to smoke. "
