G. MOYER, Mount Joy, Penna. ,
Read the Booklet “From Pig to Pen® 4
Fasts Concerning The Home Ventilator Furnace
An announcement made by competition would indicate that a DEC-
LARATION OF WAR had been made on all types of furnaces by the
one they are'handling, and if thif article were allowed to go unheeded,
the result would be that possibly many people would be mis-led into
purchasing some furnace other than the HOME VENTILATOR, being
under the impression that they were geiting the original.
We take pleasure in informing the people of Mount Joy and vicinity
that G. Moyer of your town is prepared to furnish you with the HOME
VENTILATOR FURNACE, which has been on the market for the past
seven years and is absolutely the ORIGINAL PATENTED PIPELESS
FURNACE using the combination hot and cold air register.
TAKE SPECIAL NOTICE—Mr. G. Moyer has copies of patent pa.
pers, both of ours’ and compefition, which will easily show that the
HOME VENTILATOR FURNACE was in use and PATENTED LONG
BEFORE ANY OTHER FURNACE of this type was HEARD of.
A LITTLE HISTORY-—Bac¢k in 1910 when the only furnace was the
old pipe job, Mr. S. D. Stromg, President of the Homer Furnace Com-
pany, Homer, Michigan, congeived the idea that if a furnace could be
made which would satisfactorily heat residences, stores, churches, school
houses, etc., and at the same time save the heat which was being wasted
in cellars by pipe furnaceg, a ready sale would be found. Against the
advice of older and more experienced furnace men, he perfected and
manufactured a few HOME VENTILATOR FURNACES. The result was
a REVOLUTION IN THE HEATING WORLD. Farmers, who here-
tofore could not have furhaces because their vegetable storage would be
spoiled, bought “HOMERS,” installed them in the vegetable cellars, heat-
ed their houses so much cheaper than with stoves, and so much more sat.
isfactorily, that since that time THOUSANDS OF HOME VENTILATORS
HAVE BEEN SOLD, from Maine to California, and from Florida to Can.
ada.
8 IN >
Now—when other manufacturers saw the enormous strides made by
THE HOME VENTILATOR, there eyes began to open, and from the
sickly grin they tried to maintain they were brought up against the solid
fact that to SAVE THEIR BACON, they MUST manufacture something
as near the HOME VENTILATOR as possible without infringing on the
rights of S. D. Strong. SMALL MANUFACTURERS sprung up trying
to get a foot-hold in the pipeless world, but the HOME VENTILATOR
has been too long established and had too big a start to be affected, and
the sales of the Homer Furnace Company still lead by many lengths. IN
THE LAST FIVE MONTHS, 4000 HOME VENTILATOR FURNACES
HAVE BEEN SOLD TO RESPONSIBLE DEALERS.
DON'T BE DECEIVED into buying an imitation of the HOME VEN-
TILATOR FURNACE. Don’t let other manufacturers experiment at
your expense. When you buy, buy the ORIGINAL. Five minutes com.
parison will convince you. Weigh the 24 inch fire pot of the HOME VEN-
TILATOR (when we say 24-in. we mean inside measurement) then weigh
that of any other furnace of the same size. Result? About 40 percent.
in favor of the HOME VENTILATOR. The HOME VENTILATOR is
equipped with heavy galvanized casings throughout; no flimsy black inner
casings to rust out, and which are good only as talking points, and the
buyer pays for these talking points by getting a lighter furnace.
The HOME VENTILATOR FY¥RNACE is sold under a guaranty to do
the business or no sale, and every casting is guaranteed for five years, ex-
cept the grate, and our reason for not guaranteeing this is that some-
times a careless user will allow ashes to accumulate underneath, and same
is liable to melt out. However this happens only rarely.
After manufacturing HOME VENTILATOR FURNACES for seven
years, our repair business will not amount to $1.00 a day, which we
judge is a fair evidence of the durability of our castings.
Our modern plant at Homer, Michigan is equipped to manufacture
9000 furnaces per year, and enables us to turn out a furnace which is a
joy to the installer, and castings second to none.
Remember—
G. Moyer of Mount Joy is prepared to furnish you with the ORIGI-
NAL PATENTED PIPELESS FURNACE, and the one from which all
others of this type are copied either directly or indirectly.
BUY THE “HOMER” and be safe from infringement proceedings.
