federal reserve system is at their dis-
posal, and farmers who store their 1917
potato crop in approved local ware-
houses, may obtain, upon their storuge
receipts, 90-day loans from member
banks of the reserve system at a rate
not to exceed 6 per cent. Mr. Lou D.
Sweet, potato expert with the food ad-
ministration, was instrumental in
bringing this matter to the reserve
board's attention.
New England growers have started
a movement to take advantage of this
ruling to help them solve their market-
ing problem. The prospect which the
growers of this group of states face
is that of handling 45,000,000 bushels
of the entire
United States crop—without causing
an overstocked market and the result-
ing loss of all profit on the crop.
The growers communicated with loe
cal authorities in their respective
states, who in turn laid the situation
A con-
ference between the growers, local au-
thorities and experts from the food
administration was held recently at
Joston, Mass, A plan of action was
mapped out at this meeting which in-
cludes the following:
1. Marketing of only one-third of the
crop at harvest time; another third in
90 days, or placing in storage and later
distributed as demand affords oppor-
tunity; the remaining third to be
stored by the grower and marketed
throughout the year.
2. All potatoes to be graded
taking out culls, cuts, cracks and
any that are bruised. It was recom-
mended that a wire screen grader be
used—one and seven-eighths-inch mesh
for oblong tubers and two-inch mesh
for round ones. Graded stock then to
be placed in good two-bushel sacks—
one hundred and fifteen pounds to the
sack—and the sacks sewed tightly so
as to prevent shucking and bruising.
3. Increasing the load in each rail-
road car from the normal 30,000
pounds. That these cars can be un-
loaded within 24 to 86 hours of their
arrival at destination.

4. That municipalities and other
bodies provide storage for as large
quantities as possible at the peak of
the harvest.
“A storage house, said Lou DD.
Sweet, who attended this meeting,
“such as will conform to the require-
ments laid down by the Federal Reserve
board, does not call for a specially con-

Facts Concerning The Home Ventilator Furnace
that a DEC-
An announcement made by competition would indicate
LARATION OF WAR had bebn made on all types of furnaces by the
one they are handling, and if this 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 getting the original. nL
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 vears 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 competition, 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—Back in 1910 when the only furnace was the
old pipe job, Mr. S. D. Strong, President of the Homer Furnace Come
pany, Homer, Michigan, conceived 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 furnaces, 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 furnaces because their vegetable storage would be
spoiled, bought “HOMERS,” installed them in the vegetable cellars, heate
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 Cane
ada.
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 coms-
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 FYRNACE 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 sevem
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 whick is &
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 al}
others of this type are copied either directly or indirectly.
