Y., to manufacture and sell exclusively, our "Ventilator" base-burning and base-heating Stove, in all of the Western States, in Western New York, and in Pennsyl- vania west of the Allegheny mountains. Parties in the above territory who desire to secure the sale of the stove this season, are requested to negotiate with .Tkwett & Root, r>uffalo, N. Y. BuswELL, Ddrant & Co. Troy, April 2d, 1868. 6 A Self-Feeding and Base-Burning Stove is so obviously prefera- ble to any other which is deficient in these qualities, although otherwise equally good, that no argument is required to prove its superiority. If a stove possesses all of the good qualities of the best old fashioned stove, it is only necessary to prove that it is really Self- Feeding and Base-Burning, in order to establish its decided supe- riority over the whole class of stoves constructed on the old plan. Base-hurnhig stoves have attracted nuich attention during the two or three 3'ears just passed, from the fact that a continuous lire could be maintained, but all of this class of stoves, except the "Ventilator," have acknowledged defects. Those heretofore having the largest sale are without any hase- heating arran'jemeni — without diving flues. Such stoves will con- sume from 25 to 50 per cent, more coal than a stove rightly made, with a diving flue arrangement. The hnse-hurning feature is no more important than the base- heatwg feature. The "Ventilator" is the only successful base-burner and base- heating stove ever made, and the experience of the last two years has proved its entire success; and the demand has been so great that Bus well, Durant & Co. have been able to supply but a small part of the orders pressed upon them, and for this reason they have made arrangements with us for its manufacture. The Ventilator has now been brought to such a degree of per- fection, and the results of actual trial on a lai-ge scale have been so completely satisfactory, that we are perfectly willing to have it subjected l-o the most rigid inspection and trial by the side of any stove in the couutiy. We guarantee that the Ventilator is svperior to any stove in the market as a Heater, as a Gas Burner, and as an Economical Consumer of Fuel! It also Exckls in Neatness, SiMi-LiorrY OE MANA(iEMF.NT, AND IN ivEEI'ING A CoNTINUOlTS FiRE ! IT POSSESSES THE FOLLOWING SPECIAL POINTS OF EXCEL- LENCE, WHICH CAN BE FOUND IN NO OTHER BASE-BURNER.'

Jt kindles rapidly and easily. ONE OTHER PECULIARITY OF THE VENTILATOR RENDERS IT SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHER BASE-BURNING STOVES. IT IS THE PATENT WATER HEATING ATTACHMENT! It is for boiling a Tea Kettle, heating Irons, *fec. This is desirable for Housekeepers, invaluable for Boarders, and just the thing for Oflices, Hotels, Saloons, &c. NO OTHEE BASE-BUHNER HAS THIS ABRAN&EMENT ! The Ventilator is sold either with or without the Water-Heating Attachment. There are Three Sizes of the Ventilator. The largest size, No. 13, can be converted into a Parlor Heater. When so arranged, It will HEAT BOTH A LOWER and UPPER Room ! THE VENTILATOR BURNS CHESTNUT COAL ONLY. 21ie supphj of fuel in exact proportion to its consumption, which is the characteristic of a self-feeding stove, is the most natural, and therefore the most philosophical and economical plan which could possibly be devised. The consumption of the fuel from the bottom in conjunction with direct down flues which carry the heat to the base of the stoves, constitutes the principle of base-biirning and base-heating, and secures the obvious but unusual advantage of heating the air in the lower part of the room. It also elfects a more perfect combustion of the coal and a more complete consumption of the noxious gases than is eflfected in any other Avay. The superiority of the base-burning and base-heating principle being established, we feel confident of securing the attention of the trade to the Ventilator, which will be found to be the most perfect stove ever made in its operation, in construction, and in beauty of design and finish. The ventilator is a peculiarly healthful stove, anu FOR these reasons: I. Its ventilating power is unusually perfect. This desirable object is attained in the construction of the Ventilator, by leaving an opening in the back of each stove. This opening is similar in size and shape to that of an ordinary damper, but differs from it in being always left open. This simple expedient renders the ventilating power of this stove more perfect than that of any other stove. It produces, in the first place, an increased circulation of air through the stove when the front or draft-damper is open. It also secures another great desideratum which stove manufac- turers have hitherto considered unattainable, and in which most, if not all, other stoves are wholly deficient. It secures a perfect ventilation when the draft-(kimj)er is closed. This peculiarity is of itself sufficiejit to justify the claim that this stove is par excellence, THE! '^T'ESlWTXXj-A.'I'OIil. 1. The salutary effect of a continued never failing A^entilation, such as is secured in the manner explained above, is too well understood to require explanation. It purifies the atmosphere of the room by increasing its circulation, and it is also useful in the expulsion and combustion of noxious gases, which would otherwise have a ten- dency to accumulate in the stove, and escape into the room. 2. It is an unusually perfect gas consumer. 9 H. It has the advantage of all Self-Feediug Stoves iu having an arrangement by which a vessel for heating water can be attached to the pipe when so ordered by the purchaser. This is a patented article, and we have the exclusive right to the manufacture and sale of the same. II. IT EXCELS PARTICULARLY AS A BASE-HEATER. Being furnished with a revertible or Return Flue, by which the heat may be made to circulate through the lower part of the stove when desired. This forcing of the heat into the lower part of the stove causes the heating of the air near the floor of the room, and produces a healthful and agreeable effect. IIL IT IS A CHEERFUL ILLUMINATING STOVE. Three sides of the stove are furnished with mica windows, thus rendering the fire visible. This peculiarity causes it to approach as nearly as possible to a fire-place in cheerfulness. The mica in these windows can be removed and cleaned with the greatest facility, with simply a damp cloth. Clean often. IV. IT IS SAFE. It does not generate gas in the feeder, and consequently no precautions against explosions are necessary, as in the case of nearly all, if not all other self-feeding stoves. Not a single case of exjolosion has ever occurred with this stove. IT EXCELS IN THE FACILITY AND QUICKNESS WITH WHICH FIRE CAN BE KINDLED IN IT. 2 10 VI. IT IS DURABLE. It is made chiefly of cast-iron, and is therefore not only durable when in use, but is less liable than most stoves to injury in ship- ping, handling, etc. It is also so constructed as to be very easily repaired. VII. THE USE OF THE REVERTIBLE FLUE IS AVARRANTED NOT TO CAUSE THE ESCAPE OF GAS. This flue is so large that it does not require cleaning oftener than once in a season. This operation is extremely simple and can be performed by any person in two or three minutes. VIIL IT HAS AN ASH-PAN LARGE ENOUGH TO CONTAIN ALL THE ASHES PRODUCED IN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS. The fire-pot is large, made of cast-iron, and will be lined with fire-brick. IX. IT USES CHEAP FUEL. The fuel used must be Chestnut coal. It can always be bought at a lower price than large coal. X. IT IS A LABOR-SAVING STOVE. The feeder or reservoir being once filled to the top, no coal need be added within at least twenty-four hours even in verj^ cold weather. In moderate weather, by regulating the damper, the same quan- tity may he made to last for more than double that time. There is, therefore, a saving of the trouble and dust occasioned by the frequent application of fuel which is'necessary in the old fashioned stoves. 11 XI. THE COAL IN THE FEEDER NEVER TAKES FIRE. Actual trial has fully established the fact that the fire never gets up into the feeder. It is, therefore, perfectly safe to fill it completely with coal, and it is desirable as a saving of labor and dust. It is also perfectly certain that no more coal need be burned when the feeder is completely full, than when it is partially so, or ■entirely empt3\ The quantity of coal consumed is regulated b}^ the Draft Damper entirely, whether the Feeder is full or empty. XII. THE CASTINGS, MOUNTINGS, AND EVERYTHING PER- TAINING TO THE MANUFACTURE OF THE "VENTILATOR" ARE OF THE HIGHEST ORDER OF WORKMANSHIP. DIRECTIONS FOR USE. To Kindle the Fike. — Open the front damper, and also the damper in the pipe. Put in shavings through the front door suflScient to ignite two or three quarts of charcoal, and then add the charcoal. When the charcoal is fairly ignited, put in a small quantity of hard coal. When the fire has burned through the coal, add more — a little at a time, until the fire-pot is nearly full. When this is burned through, or nearly so, open the cover on the top of the stove and fill the Reservoir full to the top. When the coal in the Fire-Pot is entirely burned through, close the Pipe Damper and regulate the fire by the Front or Draft Damper. If the stove is new, the Front Damper should be closed and the fire checked before closing the damper in the pipe. 12 When the Stove is in use, the top cover should not be opened, except for the purpose of supplying the feeder with coal; and care should be taken to see that it is immediately closed tight, that no draft may be created up through the feeding chamber. If it should at any time be observed that ashes accumulate on the sides of the fire-pot, open the front door of the fire chamber and with the poker loosen the ashes from the fire brick and they will drop down, and by shaking the grate will deposit in the ash pan, leaving the fire clear and bright. To connect the Hot Water attachment to the Stove, remove the loose cast iron collar from the top of the sheet iron flue on the back of the stove, the flange on the bottom of the Heater fitting in the flue pipe in place of the collar, as shown in the engraving. To Clean the Flues. — Remove the "Flue Stop" from the rear bottom of the Stove, and with a scraper draw the ashes from each flue on the right and left hand sides of the stove. The management of the Ventilator is so simple tliat no other directions are considered necessary. USP: CHESTNUT SIZE COAL ONLY. SIZES OF THE VENTILATOR. We are now manufacturing three sizes of the Ventilator: No. 10, No. 11, and No. 18. The largest size, No. 13, is convertible into a Parlor Heater, When so ordered, we furnish them with a cross-head, to which a pipe can be attached, for heating an upper room.- . TESTIMONIALS, We annex a few of the man}- very flattering 0[)inious of the merits of the Ventilator that have been received: Buffalo, March 4th, 1868. ilfessTS. Buswell, Durant & Co., Troy, N. Y. Gentlemen: — We regard your Ventilator as the ne plus ultra of all Base Burning Stoves. In fact, we consider it the best heating stove manufactured. Our senior partner has had an experience of over eighteen years in the retail stove business in this city, and in all that time, we can say that the Ventilatoi- is the only base-burning stove we have sold which has given universal and perfect satisfaction. As you are aware, we have purchased of you over three hundred (300) Venti- lators since the first ot August last, and should have bought one hundred (lOOi more if you could have filled our orders in time. JVhat we have done with the Ventilator, has been against the strongest competition that could be brought to bear, with such stoves as the Morning Glory, Oriental, etc., which have been in great demand hitherto. Respectfully yours. JOHN C. JEWETT & SON. Chicago, March fith, ISGB. 31fssrs. Busicell, Durant cfc Co., Troy, N. Y. Gentlemen: — By referring to your books you will find I have sold nearly three hundred Ventilators the past season, and could have sold double the number if you could have supplied me. The testimony in their favor is unanimous, and while I have been brought in direct competition with all the other leading Base Burning Stoves, («old in the same block, ) it required but very little effort for customers to see the many good things in the Ventilator, so much superior to all the others. I predict a large sale for the Ventilator wherever they have been introduced, and so long as you continue to make them as perfect as heretofore, you will have your full share of the trade. I recommend the Ventilator, in full confidence', and shall make it my leading stove the coming season. Very truly yours, R. R. DAY, 52 State street. Dansville, N. Y., March Sth, 1868. 3fessrs. Buswdl, Durant & Co., Troy, N. Y. Gentlemen: — Our experience with the Ventilator has been very satisfactory indeed. We consider it the most powerful heater for a base heater that we have had any experience with. It is a very cheerful as well as an economical stove, and we can recommend it with confidence to our customers. We expect to sell a large number of them the coming season. Respectfully yours, BROWN & GRANT, Dansville, Livingston Co. Detroit, March 4th, 1868. Messrs. Buswell, Durant d: Co., Troy, N. Y. Gentlemen: — We have sold all the Ventilators that we could obtain from you, and we might have sold more. We don't know of a single instance where they have not given entire satisfaction. In fact, the testimony of all is that it is the best base burning stove now in use. 14 In connection with the above, we would further state that we have had two Ventilators on trial all winter in one of our large Union Schools, where tjiey had also on trial the Morning Glory, Oriental, Empire Gas Burner and others, and' after this long trial, the Ventilator is pronounced by the Principal and Teachers the best heater and most economical stove of all. We remain truly yours. SALES & PELGRDI. Castile, N. Y., March 5th, 1S68, 3Iessrs. Buswell, Durant & Co., Troy, N. Y. Gextlemex: — We have used your Ventilator, No. 13, in our store the past winter. • We have also sold several of them, of each size, in this section, and we simply unite with our customers in saying we think it the best stove in the mar- ket, all things considered. It is a perfect stove in all the essential points requisite in a parlor heater, which are base-burning, gas-burning, economy in fuel, easy to control, self- feeding, and by means of the concentric rings at the mouth of the feeder, entirely preventing explosion of gas, which to all persons burning coal, is very offensive. The water heater, as now attached, is a valuable improvement. All of these and many other reasons combine to make it the most perfect stove we have ever become acquainted with. Yours respectfully, . A. N. WALLACE & CO. RocuESTER, March 4th, 1S68. Messrs. Buswell, Durant ifc Co., Troy, N. Y. Gextlemen: — I have put up fifteen Ventilator stoves this season, and have- taken the trouble to ascertain how they are liked, and find on inquiry that they give perfect satisfaction. The Ventilator is a perfect gas consumer, economical, and one of the best heating stoves I have ever sold. I think that I can sell this year two hundred (200) without doubt. I could have sold double what I did last fall if I could have had them. Yours respectfully, F. TULLEY, Auburn, N. Y., March Ifith, 1868. Messrs Buswell, Durant tfc Co., Troy^ JV. Y. Gentlemen: — I have been engaged in the stove trade for the past thirty years, and during that time have sold many parlor coal stoves of different ]iatterns. I can say I never had a stove that has given such universal satisfaction as your base-burning parlor stove Ventilator, which I have sold for the past three years, and I want the exclusive sale of the same in the future. I could have sold more if yon could have filled my orders, and I am pleased to learn that you have dis- posed of some territory, so that the difficulty of waiting will be obviated in future. Wishing you success in the future as in the past, I remain yours truly, WALTER WINCH. Newark, N. J., March 7th, 1868. Messrs. Buswell, Durant ct Co., Troy, N. Y. Gentlemen: — Your new parlor stove, the Ventilator, first introduced in this" community by me during last fall and winter, has not only given entire satisfac- tion, but has been particularly praised by all who have used it. I consider it superior to any stove I have ever sold, and in all respects as recommended byyoiu Respectfully yours, W. F. LITTELL. 15 Providen'ce, R. I., March od, 18G8. Messrs. Busicell, Durant it Co., Troy, N. Y. Gextlemen: — We have had a trial of the Morning Gloiy, Oriental and Lily, also some other inferior base-burning and self-feeding stoves, but we must say that the Ventilator is superior in all respects to any of the others. In economy it is unsurpassed. It is nicely put together, rendering it perfectly air tight. It radiates the heat evenly, and seems to throw it into all parts of the room alike. It far surpasses any stove in this market, and we have had ample oppor- tunities to test it. Although this was our first season with it, if you could have fully supplied us, we should undoubtedly have sold three times the number we did. Yours respectfully, WARD & TROW. North Adams, Mass., March lltb, 1868. Messrs. Buswell, Durant & Co., Troy, N. Y. Gentlemen: — The Ventilators which we have bought of you give good satis- faction and have secured the favor of all who have used them. We do not see how any improvements can be made upon them, and we are sure their use cannot fail to establish their superiority over all base-burning stoves that have hitherto come into use. Very respectfully yours. SHELDON, SONS & CO. Schenectady, March 9th, 1868. Messrs. Buswell, Durant cfcX'o., Troy, N. Y. Gentlemen: — I am very much pleased with your Ventilator. I have been using one at my house the past winter and it has given perfect satisfaction. I have had about thirty for my fall and winter trade, and every one has spoken for itself. My customers are all well pleased with them. I expect to have a large sale on the Ventilator next fall. Respectfully yours, GEO. K. DOTY. Morristown, N. J., March 13th, 1868. Messrs. Busioell. Durant cfc Co., Troy, JV. Y. Gentlemen: — I have no hesitation in saying that your self-feeding Ventilator parlor stove is the best as well as the most economical heating stove now in the market, and gives the best satisfaction to purchasers. I have sold them for the past two winters, and those who have used them give them the highest praise. By permission, I send the names of a few in this town who ai-e using them, as reference : Silas Norris, F. S. Freeman, George Henden, Wm. M. Sanborn, M. D. J. L. Clark, J. Norris, G. W. Howell, S. H. Emmons. Yours, respectfully, J. M. BENJAMIN. Brooklyn, E. D., March 9th, 1868. Mess7-s. Busioell, Durant ct Co., Troy, N. Y. Gentlemen: — I have sold a number of your Ventilator self-feeders, and they have given perfect satisfaction in every case. My customers are well pleased with them, and I think next season I shall be able to double and triple my orders of this year. The Ventilator being beautiful of finish and attractive to the eye, is much better adapted for parlors or sitting rooms than other stoves of the same principle, and recommends itself to heads of families for their private dwellings. I have no hesitation in recommending it to all whom it may concern. Yourstruly, JOS. "McKEE, 155 Grand street, Brooklyn, E. D. 16 Syracuse, June 3d, 18()7. Messrs. Baswell, Diirant & Co., Troy, N. Y. Gentlemen:— I wish to express to you my opinion of your parlor store. "The "Ventilator." I have used one at my house, and also one at my store, and have sold fifty-three (53) during the past season. Such a number of stoves have of course been managed by many different persons and under a variety of influ- ences, such as the difference in the draft of chimneys, etc., which, as you are aware, have a great effect upon the operation of all stoves, I am glad to inform you that I have not in a single instance, received the first word of complaint, but, in each individual case the same decided expression of approval. From one season's experience in the sale and use of "The Ventilator," I am free to admit that I consider it the most economical in fuel, the most perfect con- sumer of gasei?, and the most powerful heater of any base-burning stove with which I am acquainted. "With fifteen year.s' experience in the stove business I am unable to suggest an improvement in its construction. It seems to be abso- lutely perfect in its operation. Wishing you the success to which you are entitled, as the inventors of so per- fect a stove as "The "Ventilator," I have the honor to be, gentlemen, Yours, truly, J. H. CLOUGH. West Troy, June ICth, 1867. Messrs. Busioell. Durant ct Co., Troy, N. Y. Gentlemen:— We desire to give you our opinion of your Parlor Stove, "The Ventilator," as a rjas-dons^iming, base-hurning and selj-feeding stove. We have been connected with the stove business for the last eighteen years and have seen nearly all, if not all the celebrated stoves of this class; but we must, say that in our opinion "The Ventilator" stands to-day preeminent in all the advantages you claim for it. ]t is perfect in combustion; a thorough gas-burner, and the simplest stove to manage that is sold in the market. Owing to these good qualities, we have sold iu the space of three months thirty- five (S5) of "The Ventilators" in competition with all of the celebrated stoves now offered to the public, and in no case have we taken one down from any defect. On the contrary, they have invariably given the most perfect satisfaction. We have no hesitation in recommending "The Ventilator" to the fullest confi- dence of the public, feeling sure that it will soon be acknowledged as the cham- pion Vjase-burning stove of the country. Respectfully yours, SMITH & GIFFIN. West Troy, June 10th, 18C7. 3Iessrs.' Busioell, Du7-ant d: Co., Troy, N. Y. Gentlemen: — We, the undersigned, officers of Evening Star Lodge, No. 75, F. and A. M.. take pleasure in informing you that your No. 13 base-burning stove, called "The Ventilator,'' which we have used the past winter in our hall, has given to us and the members of the Lodge perfect satisfaction. It operates well as a base-burner, a self-feeder and gas-consumer. We have been particularly pleased with its heating capacity, the slight amount of trouble required in its management, and the ease with which a continuous fire is kept. From the seventh of last Novemljer, when it was put up, a fire was kept in it constantly, night and day, until warm weather set in, and this was accomplished by shaking down, removing the ashes, and applying fresh coal but once in twenty- four hours. Of its merits as a heater we cannot speak too highly. Our hall is sixty (60) feet long, by thirty (30) feet wide, with a ceiling fifteen (15) feet high, and was kept comfortably warm, night and day. even in the coldest weather. At night, after shaking and supplying with coal, we could by opening the front (or draft) damper, make the hall too warm for comfort in from twenty to thirty minutes. 17 We also had one of your No. U Ventilators in our ante-room, fifteen (15) feet square, connecting by folding doors with another room of the same size, both of which have been kept comfortable during the whole time, and the amount of coal consumed by both stoves was only three tons. Hoping you may meet with success commensurate with the merits of your stove, we remain, Respectfully yours. D. W. TALLCOTT, W. M. C. G. WOODWARD. S. W. D. M. ERSKTNE. J. W. ABRAM A. KING. Tyler. Messrs. Buswell, Darant & Co., Troy, N. Y. Gextlemex: — You ask my opinion of your base-burning stove, ''The Ven- tilator." My answer is, that 1 have given it a thorough trial, and am so well pleased with it that I would not sell it for one hundred dollars if I could not buy another of the same kind for less money. I used the "Morning Glory" for three winters and thought no other stove etpialled it. But last winter I used one of your No. 11 Ventilators, and kept it running night and day through the season. I have, therefore, had a fair opportunity of comparing "The Ventilator" with the famous "Morning Glory," and must say that I give "The Ventilator" a decided preference. In fact, I consider it the best gas consumer, the most powerful heater, the easiest managed, and last but not least, the most economical stove that I have ever seen. With the best wishes for your success^ in introducing "The Ventilator" into general use, I am, very^truly yours, ROBERT NOXON. Adrian, Mich., April 2d, 1868. Messrs. Jeioett & Root, Buffalo, N'. T. Gentlemen: — We are pleased to learn that you propose to manufacture "The Ventilator," as we were unable to get our orders fdJed last season. There has been no coal stove introduced here that compares at all with "The Ventilator." It gives unusual satisfaction, and already our citizens are making inquiries if we are sure we can supply them the coming fall and winter. We enclose a list of the names of the fortuna.te ones who enjoyed the luxury of using the Ventilators last season, to whom reference can be had. Truly yours, WILCOX & BRO. Detroit, April 14th, 1SG8. 3Iessrs. Sales d; Pelgrim. Gentlemen: — This is to certify that two (2) of your No. 13 Ventilators have been in use in the Bishop Union School House since last September, in competi- tion with the Morning Glory, Oriental, Empire Gas Burner and Stewart stoves, aud I find that for rapidity of heating, economy of fuel, and ease of management they have no equal.
