l THAT “LITTEE WONDER” FUEL SAVERS SA V E COAL
In the course of our travels we hear
the report from people that “Mr. and
Mrs. So-and-so say the Little Wonder
gives better heat, stops the coal gas
and clinkers, and reduces their labor,
but that they don’t think that they
saved any coal with it, because they
burned just as much coal last year as
they did the year before.” If there
is any one point that we have success-
fully brought out about the “Little
Wonder” and “Oxy Blast” fuel savers
it is the fact that they do
_ SAVE COAL;
TO ALL" OUR CUSTOMERS:
Take into your consideration the fact that last
fall your furnace .fire was started much earlier
\and carried much longer into the extreme cold
'spring. The ordinary heating season is com-
. posed of 24 weeks. Last year we had to use our
furnace fires exactly 33 weeks. In the event that you burned as much coal last year
with the“‘Litt1e Wonder” attached as you did during the season 1924-25 is proof
positive that you saved

We take this opportunity to thank you for past favors, and wish to say that we are
still at your service. If you have any troubles or heating problems, consult us. The
. : fact that more “Little Wonders” were sold last month than the entire first year
' speaks for itself. .~ / .
